<p>Less than a two-hour drive from Los Angeles, the Jacinto Reyes
Scenic Byway links California's Gold Coast with the arid interior
lands of the Cuyama and San Joaquin Valleys. Even with the
proximity to the Los Angeles metropolis, you will notice a feeling
of solitude as you wind through the mostly undeveloped open space
of the valley.</p>
<p>Magnificent views of the geology and natural plant life unfold
around you along the drive. Dry Lakes Ridge Botanical Area and the
Piedra Blanca Rock Formations are two notable and fascinating
places to visit on this byway. Make the trip an educational one by
stopping at the interpretive signs along the way that discuss
natural resources, history of the "urban forests," the role of
National Forest watersheds, the history and culture of the Chumash
Indians, and the story of early settlers.</p>
<p>But there's more to this journey than the views. Rose Valley
Recreation Area North of Ojai is the perfect place to act like a
kid again. The nearby trails are the ultimate playground for
hikers, mountain bikers, or horseback riders. Spend the night in
the Rose Valley Campground roasting marshmallows, telling ghost
stories, and sleeping under the stars.</p>
