Hike: Montecito Hot Springs
Details
Meetup people, join me as we hike up to the Montecito Hot Springs near Santa Barbara. Now the city of Montecito has made it very difficult to find sufficient parking for this place (screw the city officials). However, I have found a great place to park our cars. The hot springs are natural thermal springs, that stay warm all year round. So let’s relax, have some drinks, and make some new friends. Here is a YouTube video about the hike, so you get a sense of what to expect (https://youtu.be/PE8hxdlWEUE). Also, I will upload some photos as well. So join me, because I promise you this adventure will be more exciting than milking the cows in Nebraska.
