What People are Saying

I have taken many trips with Los Padres Outfitters and they are truly the best and only proper outfitter in the southern Los Padres National Forest. LPO really takes care of their guests – they are great cooks and serves up all sorts of tasty treats. LPO has really calm mules and horses that know the trails, so you don’t have to worry about it. And of course they take you to the prettiest scenery that the Los Padres has to offer. I can’t recommend them highly enough!
