Dear Creative: Imagine sipping tea in the forest in a cozy sweater next to a mahogany desk filled with paints + crayons. WELCOME TO FOREST HEAVEN.

Note: Trip guides include both places I’ve visited and ones that come highly recommended - I do the deep-dive so you don’t have to!

Hot take: As an LA’er - Joshua Tree + Ojai are not for me - the desert makes my ocean soul claustrophobic🧜‍♀️. I haven’t felt actual relief from the city until I found Idyllwild.

This homie mountain town is like being in Colorado but 2.5 hours from LA. Friendly locals, great hikes, charming shops.
