Bring plenty of water

No hike if raining

Rattlesnake Canyon Trail –  8:30am.  We will hike the beautiful Rattlesnake Canyon trail on Friday.  This is one of Santa Barbara's most popular trails, so please bring your visiting family and friends!  (The Rattlesnake Trail is named for its curves, not creatures).

Rattlesnake is considered a "moderate" hike and a more strenuous option continuing to Gibraltar Rd. is possible for those who wish.  The main group will hike the out and back portion to and from the meadow.  

Hiking Distance:  4 miles total with 1400' of elevation gain for the familiar up and back. 

Hiking times: 2-2.5 hours  (go at your own pace).
