TRAIL INFORMATION -Distance—1.5 miles to Seven Falls; 1.5 miles to Mission Falls -Elevation Gain—400’ to Seven Falls; 1750’ to the intersection Tunnel Trail at Mission Falls -Difficulty—Easy to Seven Falls; hard core to Mission Falls Topo—Santa Barbara HIGHLIGHTS Both the east and west forks of Mission Creek have eroded through the highly resistant Coldwater Sandstone forming in the upper off-trail sections a series of narrows with deep pools, steep falls, and rich green fern coverings—the fabled Seven Falls. For hundreds of thousands of years erosive forces have eaten away at the Matilija Sandstone which forms the bulk of La Cumbre Peak, and the grinding power of the sand and water as they tumbled downhill has etched magical shapes in the rock formations below. One of these is a series of small falls and deep potholes known for more than a century as Seven Falls. DIRECTIONS From the Santa Barbara Mission drive up Mission Canyon Road to Foothill and turn right, then turn left several hundred yards later (by the fire station). Continue up Mission Canyon to the Tunnel Road turnoff, a half mile before the Botanic Garden. Continue several miles to the end. Park properly. The police frequently ticket illegally parked cars. The trail begins about three-quarters mile beyond the locked gate.

Great hiking trail! In wet years you can take a dip in the pools!

7 Falls (and 3 Pools) hikes are probably the most fun of all the Tunnel Trail hikes. Neither is easy, but both are fun because of the opportunity to go for a dip in the creek. Most people in some kind of decent shape can handle these hikes, but because of the rock hopping most people end up a little sore the next day. The trail begins on a paved access road that the Edison Company uses. After a mile the road turns to dirt and you follow it just a little more toward the turnoff to Inspiration Pt. Instead of going to Inspiration Pt, you turn right and slosh your way up the creek to 7 Falls. The hike is about 2 or 3 miles round trip with an elevation gain of about 800 ft.
