Via the 5
There are several different ways to cross over from the 5 into Ojai. You have two major opportunintes through LA to connect over to the 101 and follow those directions above. Again, depending on traffic and time of day, you might choose to drop in via the 118 or the 126 to the 150. Use your GPS and Google Maps, friends' opinions and your intuition to make a decision. We found Ojai by driving through it "by accident."
