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:

If you are going to hike, please RSVP Elden Dellanina.

When and Where: Sunday, December 16, 8:30 a.m. Drive on 101 to the San Ysidro Road exit. Drive one mile north to
East Valley Road and turn left. Turn left again immediately, into the parking lot near Via Vai restaurant. 
We will set up carpools, since the parking at the trail head is very limited.

Helpful hints: Be sure to bring a hat and drinking water. 
Allow two to two and one-half hours for the hike.

Cost: None, except that we often stop at the Montecito Upper Village for lunch, "on your own".

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