This is a Friday 8:30am meetup – no need to register.

RIVIERA URBAN HIKE – 8:30am. NEW HIKE.  Hike the Riviera with a resident!  We walk a short way down, east on Almeda Padre Sierra (APS) to Aborlado Road, to Roble Road, and to Loma Media Road.  We then traverse up to Las Alturas Road and travel on Las Alturas to the top of the Riviera.  We walk the top of the Riviera on Mission Ridge Road for a short distance and go on Hillcrest Road to Franceschi Road. Here we pass across Franceschi Park to Mission Ridge Road again.  We then cut through “The Encanto Resort” to El Encanto Road and move quickly onto Lasuen Road which feeds back to our cars on Dover Road. 

The hike is about 5 miles and goes up and down throughout the Riviera with magnificent views of homes, islands, ocean, and mountains.  The elevation change is perhaps 700-800 feet, making this a relatively easy hike.

DIRECTIONS.  There is parking along Dover Road at Sylvan Park, just off of Alameda Padre Serra.  The GPS address for Sylvan Park is 1321 Dover Road, Santa Barbara.

HIKE LEADER: Bo Kite
