Gaviota State Park Hike with Siena
Summary
Join Us for a Healthy People Healthy Trails Hike at Gaviota State Park!
Description
Looking to get outside this weekend? A guided hike in Gaviota State Park is the perfect chance!
Join us this Sunday, April 19th, from 1 pm - 4 pm. We will head up the
Ortega Trail, then take the
Woodland Trail, and return on the
Yucca Trail to complete a 3.2-mile loop. We will venture through the Gaviota Coast’s chaparral landscape and witness stunning mountain and ocean views. Bring plenty of water and a snack.
To get to the trailhead from Santa Barbara, take Highway 101 north to the State Route 1 exit for Lompoc. From the exit, turn left and cross over the freeway and continue west. Look for the first road on your left, San Julian Road, and follow it back towards the freeway. The road passes Vista de Las Cruces School. Park at the end of the road near the gate for the trails.
Distance: 3.2 miles
Difficulty: Moderate
Trail Map: https://santabarbaratrails.org/maps/gaviota/gaviota-state-park-2024.pdf
Trailhead: 9467 San Julian Rd, Gaviota, CA 93117 -- Drive past the school and meet at the gate at the end of the road.
The group will meet at the trailhead at
1:00 PM to ensure a prompt start. Please be punctual to respect everyone's time. Please dress appropriately with hiking boots/shoes and comfortable clothes meant to get sweaty and possibly wet. We recommend a 1-3L water bladder in a backpack, depending upon trail difficulty, so that your hands are free to cross water or scramble up/down rocks.
Note: Rain or low attendance cancels the hike.
