Status: Sept 2006, Sespe and surrounding areas were closed because of the fire. It’s unknown if it’s been opened since. See comments below for details.

Details: Described as a “gem”, in the back country of Ventura, it is not for the faint hearted. Because of the extreme danger of flash floods that turn the nearby Sespe river deadly, and otherwise difficult access, please check on weather / road conditions and think through your preparations. This is reputed to take 2 days of difficult hiking to get to. According to one contributor in 9/2009 “There is a motorcycle trail in from the north, much shorter and not dangerous in the same sense as crossing the Sespe can be.” Perhaps taking a camel, is indeed the best way to go!
