Travel Information
Ojai is sometimes called Shangri La and is approximately 65 miles north of Los Angeles. We have a block of rooms reserved at the Lavender Inn, thanks to George Figueroa. Ojai is extremely pedestrian and bike friendly, has a town trolley, and is easy to navigate.
In addition to the Lavender Inn, some classmates may want to consider the Ojai Valley Inn, Su Nido, Ojai Rancho Inn, Blue Iguana or a nearby AirBnB. Click here for more information on alternate lodging.
