East Cold Springs Loop (Ridge trail to East Cold Springs trail) - meet on east side of Bridge


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

We will hike the Cold Springs loop starting with the Ridge trail to Edison Catway for some great views and then return on the East Fork of Cold Springs Trail.  This trail is exposed on the hike up ridge trail but shady along the East fork on the way back. It offers some great views on the top and beautiful small waterfalls along East Cold Springs. 

Elevation gain: ~1,000 ft.

Distance : ~3.2 miles 2- hours duration

Trail Rating: Moderate (AllTrails rating)

Google Maps for the trailhead

DIRECTIONS: Meet at the east side of Cold Springs trailhead on E. Mountain Drive on the east (Montecito) side of the creek. The bridge is being replaced so we will meet on the east side of the creek.

From either direction on Hwy 101, exit at Olive Mill Road and turn toward the mountains. Continue up Olive Mill Rd 1.0 mile, crossing East Valley Rd where name changes to Hot Springs Rd. After another 1.0 mile turn left on East Mountain Drive. Go 1.1 miles to the trailhead on the right, just before the creek crossing.  (You’ll probably see cars & hikers when you first turn onto East Mountain Drive. That is another trailhead.  Do not stop. Continue 1.1 miles.)
