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!

See all- Scenic Flores Peak + Gibraltar Rock, via Rattlesnake Canyon Creek & TrailRattlesnake Canyon Trailhead, Santa Barbara, CA
Flores Peak, at 3340’ above sea level, is a beautiful hilltop with great views of the cities and ocean below. This is also one of Santa Barbara's most exciting places for hiking and exploring. There is rocky terrain and scrambling involved. You should get a great workout in beautiful nature.
We will start the hike from Rattlesnake Canyon Trailhead, hiking and exploring through the creek for over a mile, then connect to the regular trail and Gibraltar Rd to get to Flores Peak. Rattlesnake Canyon Creek could be dried this time of the year, but is forested, cooler, and more scenic than other trails in the city.
