Murietta is an easy hike of about 1.9 miles on natural trail in the Ojai Ranger District of Los Padres National Forest, managed by the Forest Service. The route is an out-and-back that gains about 405 feet, with the low point at 1,781 feet and the high at 2,196 feet. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 76°F and October highs around 83°F, while July and August average in the mid-90s. That station sits about 600 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run a little cooler. Bikes and horses are both allowed. The North Fork Matilija Trail (23W07) is about 1.2 miles away, and the Monte Arido Trail and Ocean View Trail are each within about 2.3 miles. Paddlers can find Matilija Creek about 2.5 miles off.
