DESCRIPTION:The Santa Barbara County Trails Council has officially launched the 5 Peaks Challenge for 2025\, and this hike is the perfect opportunity to check another peak off your list. Rising over the largely undeveloped Gaviota coastline\, Gaviota Peak offers some of the best views in Santa Barbara County. The route will take us along the Trespass and Tunnel View trails\, rewarding us with incredible views of the ocean\, mountains\, canyons\, and Channel Islands. We’ll hike a 6.2-mile loop from the Gaviota Hot Springs/Gaviota Peak Trailhead. \nSign Up for the 5 Peaks Challenge Here: https://bit.ly/5PeaksChallenge \nDetails:\nDistance ~ 6.2mi\nAscent – 2\,178 ft\nDifficulty – Moderate to strenuous\nRestrictions – No dogs allowed at Gaviota State Park \nGPX Track: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G-e2sWSdfzou5H2AHvDQf8kjFMTwJ_nw/view?usp=share_link\nAllTrails Map: Gaviota Peak-AllTrails \nTrailhead: Gaviota Peak Trailhead/Gaviota Hot Springs\nGaviota Peak Trailhead\, Gaviota Park Boundary\, Goleta\, CA 93117\nFrom Highway 101 N\, take exit 132 for CA-1.

Portola observed several of their plank “Tomol” canoes being constructed and incorporating the naturally-occurring asphalt (tar) into their design. As a result\, members of the Spanish expedition referred to the area as La Carpinteria or ‘The Carpenter Shop\,’ later to become Carpinteria.
