Before it gets too hot in the summer, a day hike in the Sespe Wilderness/Los Padres National Forest during the first week in June. I left Santa Monica at about 9.30 and was on the trail by 11.30. The Sespe doesn't have much shade, so it is best for spring - or between the two heatwaves we currently have. Temperatures were very pleasant, upper 60s, maybe low 70s.
I did the Fishbowls/Cedar Creek loop, about 21 km, as a day hike, but it works well as an overnighter as there are two campsites, both about 2 hours from the Fishbowls trailhead (Cedar Creek going clockwise, Fishbowls counterclockwise). It connects with other trails, so much longer loops are possible. https://www.gaiagps.com/map/?loc=12.3/-119.1584/34.6454&trac...
There still was water with many small crossings, but about to become stagnant and then dry up for the season.

From Cedar Creek trailhead back to Fishbowl is a dirt road. I didn't see anybody on the trail, only one group of overnight hikers when I got back to the trailhead.
