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. 

When and Where: Saturday, April 19, at 8:45 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 will stop at the Montecito Upper Village's Via Vai restaurant 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.
