Rare opportunity to explore this old Montecito estate. An easy, moderate, or strenuous hike (depending on how far you choose to go) up to the top ridges of and looping back down Chelham Canyon. About 2, 4 or 5 mrt and 500, 700' or 1350' altitude gain, respectively, whichever is chosen.

Hike open to members and on-members alike. The Sierra Club never charges a fee for it's hikes.

Meet either at the old gatehouse (680 East Mountain Drive at Cold Springs Junction) or at the B of A on upper State St. at 9am.
