What we’re about
Welcome to Adventure People! This group is for everyone who loves to hike, kayak, rock climb, and anything that gets us outdoors. We have a great team of organizers who schedule local outdoor activities, social events, and weekend camping trips. We also do small group trips to destinations around the world.
Some of the things we've done include watching the Northern Lights in Iceland, hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, rappelling down waterfalls in Costa Rica, trekking on a glacier in Argentina, hiking the W Trek in Chile, climbing a volcano in Hawaii, visiting the country's national parks, exploring the world's most spectacular caves in Vietnam, salsa dancing lessons in Cuba, and that's just a few.
Adventure People all have one thing in common, we want to travel the world and have fun doing it. We're explorers, not tourists. Regardless of where you go and what you do, it's the people you share the experience with that you'll remember the most. What you'll find in Adventure People is that we're a fun, active, adventurous, welcoming group of friends. By joining our community and participating in our local and international trips, you'll not only have a new group of friends but new travel companions with whom you'll want to share more experiences. That's why you'll always see repeat travelers on all of our trips!

Zaca Peak Hike & Explore, via Zaca Ridge Rd, then Descent via Grass Mountain
Figueroa Mountain Road, Santa Ynez, CA, USWe will team up with another group led by a friend, Andrea. Andrea’s group is doing a 8-10 mile hike on Zaca Ridge Rd. Tentatively, I plan to hike the first 4-5 miles with the group, then split with the group and continue on to explore Zaca Peak. I expect some amount of bush whacking adventure, trying to get to Zaca Peak. After Zaca Peak, I plan to descend via the Grass Mountain route, about another mile of bush whacking before getting to regular trail. Long pants and long sleeves are recommended. According to Alltrails, this area has beautiful views of the Santa Ynez Valley. And Andrea wrote this area has beautiful views of the back country of the San Rafael Wilderness. I have been to Grass Mountain many times, and thought about hiking to Zaca Peak from Grass Mountain in the past.
