🌅 Sunset Views

The classic short Ventura sunset hike — a steep 1.5-mile climb to the two iconic trees on the hill above town.

Two Trees are the pair of eucalyptus that perch on the ridge above Ventura, visible from almost everywhere in the city. The hike up is a steep, fast 1.5-mile climb that ends at a 360-degree view from the islands to Ojai. It's the city's most-walked sunset hike for good reason.
