Description
Fuelbreak Road is a US Forest Service Road that offers some fantastic views of Ojai Valley. The trail connects Pratt Trail (23W09) in the west to Gridley Trail in the east. The trail starts as a dirt road on USFS land but becomes singletrack when it connects to Fuelbreak Road Trail at about 1.6 miles on OVLC managed private property. Thanks to John McKinney, The Trailmaster, for sharing this trail description. To learn more about trails in California, check out his guides at The Trailmaster Store.

Still very brushy even after the summer heat has dried up all the chaparral - tick central so make sure to check yourself when you get home!
