The hike is a loop, or more like a figure 9, that starts at the San Ysidro trailhead, 
branches off to the McMenemy trail, then forks over to the Saddlerock trail, 
then returns down the Girard trail back to McMenemy. For more information, visit:

This is a lovely hike in the lower parts of the mountains above Montecito. It's a very well-maintained trail.
