A friend and I took a trip to Rock Front OHV recreation area in the Los Padres National Forest from March 16-19. We traveled from Fresno to Taft and then took Highway 166 past Cuyama and New Cuyama to get there. Travel time was about 3 hours. The entrance is about a half hour drive east on 166 from Santa Maria. The first day was all about traveling to the area, finding a campsite and getting set up. But once that was done, we did have time to do some exploring. Here are scenes from
Day 1: Branch Creek Trail
The second day, it was all about hitting the trails and trying to see as much as we could. We did accomplish a lot and covered a lot of territory. Here are scenes from
Day 2: Canyon and Paradise Trails and
Day 2: Big Rocks Trail
The third day of the trip is March 18 and the plan is to check out the Sierra Madre Road. This route is just across Highway 166 from Rock Front OHV and climbs the ridges of the neighboring Sierra Madre Mountains. Here are scenes from
Day 3: Sierra Madre Road
Monday, March 19 is the last day in the Rock Front OHV recreation area. The good thing is we are about the only people still out here. Now we pretty much have the run of the place and this gives me a chance to check out and photograph places that were occupied over the weekend. Here are the final scenes from the trip
Day 4: Rock Front Finale
