Piedra Blanca Rock Formations

North of Ojai, into Rose Valley, and at the end of the road within a mile hike is the Piedra Blanca Rock Formations. Taking the trail at the parking lot (be sure to have a valid pass), hike NorthEast crossing the creek thrice before coming to a trail split. Right (East) goes up the canyon to nice swimming holes. Take the trail Left (West) and follow to another split. NorthWest and NorthEast respectively. NorthEast takes you to the formations after keeping an eye out for rock turns (trail markers) as the trail splits again left out of the little canyon that you will be moving through.

Since there is no camping at or near the parking lot, camp anywhere past the formations, Piedra Blanca Campground is about 3.5 miles up the trail from the parking lot.
