The Grant Park Hat is named for a park in the hills overlooking downtown Ventura. The park has sweeping views across the channel to Anacapa and Santa Cruz Islands, as well as all the way across the Oxnard plains to the very northern edge of the Santa Monica Mountains. It’s a popular picnic destination and a great place to watch the sunset, but the sundowner winds can make it very cold up there in the evenings. This hat will keep you toasty warm!
