Join us for a lovely Saturday in Ojai! We’ll head north to Sisar Canyon, where we’ll meet the one-of-a-kind Reverend Jim Burklo. A breathtaking 5-mile out-and-back hike promises amazing views, flowing rivers, and hopefully some wildlife. Afterwards, we can explore the town of Ojai and, if we’re lucky, visit Reverend Burklo’s donkeys and swimming pool!
