Questions: Elden Dellanina  or Bob Lilley

This hike starts at the Cater water treatment plant at the mountain end of San Roque Rd. It's possible to get to Inspiration Point using this trail, and a part of the Tunnel Trail. We'll plan to do that if everyone agrees as we proceed. 

This hike can be a challenge at 7 miles round trip. It's a beautiful hike in the shade that starts in riparian environs and ends up in the lower chaparral on a level ridge with a lovely and close view of Santa Barbara.

The hike is moderately steep at times, with an approximate 1200 ft elevation gain. We'll plan a length and a pace that's "do-able" for everyone.
