Santa Ynez Canyon features chilly mountain pools, several beautiful waterfalls, and slim sandstone cliffs set in a cool oasis of lush oak and sycamore forests.

We'll hook up with E. Topanga Fire Road on a little known trail to make this a 7 mile loop. There is a strenuous 800' elevation gain between the 1.0 and 1.5 mile mark. Net elevation gain is about 1000' with a total of about 1500'.

Some of you may recall that we did this hike a year ago May 20 but in the opposite direction with an 800' descent near the last half a mile. That was crazy http://img1.meetupstatic.com/54916378942021045586710/img/smileys/shock.gif. This time we will go up, which is different kind of crazy http://img2.meetupstatic.com/7721728740974823239/img/smileys/tongue.gif. Here are the photos from a year ago: http://www.meetup.com/localhikers/photos/all_photos/?photoAlbumId=8412862
