Tips from locals
The name says it all! While there are many excellent front country hikes in Santa Barbara, this one is a must. You can summit in 40 min to an hour depending on your pace and the views are truly epic (dare I say, inspirational!)
This is a great hike that takes you to some amazing views of Santa Barbara, the ocean, and the mountains. It takes about 2-1/2 hours round trip and has some shady spots for hotter days. A locals favorite hike.
A good hike with lots of options and amazing ocean views. Get out early and beat the crowds! Moderate difficulty that Spritely teenagers will enjoy. Hardcore hikers may find it not challenging enough!
it's about a 4 mile roundtrip. at the turn around there are some benches with inspirational views of Santa Barbara and the ocean
