|
The
McMenemy-Saddlerock-Girard Loop
(See
the map, below)
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:

When
and Where: Saturday, October 6, at 9 a.m. Drive on 101 to the
San Ysidro Road exit. Drive one mile north to
East Valley Road and turn
right. Continue 0.8 miles to Park Lane and turn left.
Drive 0.3 miles to East
Mountain Drive and bear to the left.
The trailhead is 0.2 miles
ahead on the right. Park along East Mountain Drive.
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.
