🐳Franklin Trail - Carpinteria; Lunch at Padaro Beach Grill 🏖

At over 100 years old, the Franklin Trail is one of the oldest trails in Carpinteria. It closed back in the 1970s because ranchers worried people could carry avocado root rot to their crops. Through much work among government agencies, the Santa Barbara Land Trust and volunteers, most of the trail has recently re-opened

DIRECTIONS
Drive to Carpinteria High School and park in the west parking lot. Trail head is right there.

NOTE: I forgot to call Carpinteria HS to make sure there are no school events Sunday. If there is an event preventing us from using their parking lot, we can use the neigborhood streets. I have posted an easy parking alternative...just in case. Please review it before leaving home. https://www.hikingwithdean.com/event/franklin-trail-carpinteria/
