Getting There -- The 45-minute drive south from Santa Barbara to Ojai is along two-lane Hwy. 150, a road that's as curvaceous as it is stunning. From Los Angeles, take U.S. 101 north to Hwy. 33, which winds through eucalyptus groves to meet Hwy. 150 -- the trip takes about 90 minutes. Hwy. 150 is called Ojai Avenue in the town center and is the village's primary thoroughfare.
