About 100 yards past the second stream crossing, the trail will be on your left. It will take you to Murietta Camp after one mile. If you follow Murietta Road instead of the trail, you will reach Murietta Divide after 4.4 miles, with steep sections toward the end.
- Matilija Canyon Trail (23W07)Length 8.4 miles. Nice for a day or overnight. Southern access point is the same trailhead as #1. After the second stream crossing, the trail goes off to your right, entering the wilderness and follows the year-round flowing creek. Matilija Camp is 1.3 miles from the gate, Middle Matilija another 2.6 miles, and Maple Camp is an additional 2.9 miles further. The trail connects with a dirt road that leads down Cherry Canyon to Highway 33. For the northern access point, go 27.1 miles north of Ojai on Highway 33 and turn left on rough dirt road up Cherry Canyon. The trail starts at the southern end of parking area at the ridge top.
