Aliso is perfect for that quick
getaway into the wilderness. At the far end
of the campground there is a wide, well
maintained trail that wanders past hills with
minimal elevation gain. Partially shaded, this
trail is great for hot days. The trail is 2 miles
long and at the end there is a large clearing.
For a longer hike you can continue onto a
trail that is located here. A little hard to find,
this trail is unmarked and will bring you up
to Forest Route 32S13. A second trail can
also be found at the campground, although
this trail is unmarked and is recommended
for experienced hikers only.

Ballinger Canyon is primarily used for off
highway vehicles (OHV). With an abundance
of trail systems designed for 4WD, ATV, and
motorcycles, this is a great place to explore
the Cuyama Valley landscape on wheels.
Trail access can be found at Ballinger
Campground in the midst of a juniper grove.
Although the primary purpose of this area is
OHV, the trail systems are well maintained
and make for a great day hiking and trail
running. This is one of the best places to
view the sunset in Cuyama with the ability
to quickly get up on the ridge and see a vast
majority of the Valley as the sun slips away

Carrizo Plain National Monument is best
known for the super bloom that occurs
after a wet winter. Those that catch it are
lucky to find an isolated plain covered in
yellow, orange, and purple flowers that flow
over rolling hills. Stretching for 250,000
acres, Carrizo Plain has much more to offer
than spectacular wild flowers. An area
culturally important to Native Americans
and early settlers, there is a number of
historical sites scattered throughout the
National Monument, accessible by car or
foot. It is also home to fifteen of California’s
threatened and endangered plants and
animals.
