RUNS
|
.: Hot Springs Trail :. Starting point is the Hot Springs Trail head off of Mountain Drive. Run up the single track about a mile which crosses a creek and than turns into a fire road be sure to stay right on the fire road (there is a point where you come to a Y) it’s a pretty steep section for about a quarter mile but as you make the turn towards the top, you'll have amazing views of Santa Barbara and the Islands (the climb up is well worth it.)... it’s especially clear late summer and fall and winter. You’ll stay on the fire road which will drop you back down as you go through a gate be looking to your right, it’s a couple hundred yards, you'll take that right single track trail it crosses over the creek and starts making it way up a series of switch backs be sure to stay on the main trail you’ll crest the top, at that point you'll see a stone bench to your left over looking Santa Barbara, take a break here... it’s worth taking it all in. The trail continues up, but you’ll stay left which will drop and traverse over and back to the fire road this is about a mile long, when you hit the fire road go left and that drops you back to your car. Distance is roughly 6 miles could take over an hour to complete. Fun hilly and full of great views.... |
