Happy Hikers - Gaviota Peak

  • November 03, 2017
  • 8:00 AM
  • The Mission (carpool)

No hike if raining.  Bring plenty of water.

Special time this week -- meet at the Mission 8 am to drive to the trailhead.

This is an 8 am meetup – no need to register.

Gaviota Peak – 8 am at the Mission.  This is a very scenic but longer hike to the 2,458 foot summit in the Santa Ynez Mountains, overlooking the Pacific coast west of Santa Barbara. Reached by two trails, together forming a loop: the steeper, more enclosed Gaviota Peak Trail and the slightly longer, more scenic Trespass Trail.  We don’t do this hike very often because to the drive, so don’t miss your chance for spectacular views.  Length: 3.1 miles (up the Gaviota Peak Trail), 3.4 miles (down the Trespass Trail) for a total of 6.5 miles.  Elevation change: 1,950 feet.  We should be back a little after noon (3-3.5 hour hike).

Directions:  We will meet at the Mission at 8am in order to carpool.  The trail head is about a 40 minute drive west on the 101. The parking area is off US 101 just past the tunnel, a right exit onto Hwy 1 toward Vandenberg, then an immediate right on a (short) no name dirt road to the trail head.  $2 parking fee per car, no dogs.  Consider wearing long pants, use lots of sunscreen, and brink a snack.

 Hike leader:  Katrin Robbins

Hope to see you there!
