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!

This version of the hike starts at Tunnel Trail. There is another way to get here, starting at Jesusita Trail. Beware of kamikaze mountain bikers on this trail. This hike is a relatively moderate hike, especially if you are in good condition. One thing to consider with hiking in Santa Barbara is that the area is not flat. It's all mountains! So an easy hike is one where parts of the hike at least aren't too difficult for the average person, and usually that part is at the beginning so that if it does get too hard you can turn around. The trail begins on a paved access road that the Edison Company uses. This road is a popular exercise spot for many active Santa Barbarans. You can see people getting their morning and evening workouts running, biking, walking the dog, and taking the kids for a walk year round. The road is about a mile long, which is perfect for a quick workout. The trail begins near the end of the pavement and is wide and maintained. The trail climbs through shady chaparral to a small summit which is another Edison access road, dirt this time. The summit is indistinct, except for the fact that when you reach it you have a beautiful view of the city, the ocean and the Channel Islands. This view makes this a popular sunset hike. The hike is about 3.5 miles round trip with an elevation gain of about 800 ft.
