First Hike of 2013 - Hike to Montecito Peak

Start the New Year with a fun hike to Montecito Peak.

Seven mile round trip with a 2600 ft. elevation gain, this is can be a fairly strenuous hike but it is very rewarding. If it is a clear day we will have a panoramic view from Gaviota Coast to Port Hueneme, and possibly even as far as Catalina Island.

We will begin at the Cold Spring trailhead on East Mountain Drive, cross the creek a couple of times, pass some small waterfalls, head up to the Montecito Overlook then on past the two trees and on to the Peak.

The trail is beautiful, cool and green at this time of year.

What better way to burn off some eggnog or clear up a hangover?

Depart from the Cold Spring trailhead at 8:30 AM and should be back around 1:00 PM.
