    I absolutely love this place. Best views of Ventura in all of Ventura! Perfect for a sunset photo shoot or afternoon picnic. There's even benches at the top to sit and enjoy the views or a picnic table on the grass to enjoy your lunch with a view. Especially right now in spring the flowers are beautiful and blooming.
