🏞️ Iconic Tangerine Falls & Beyond via Scenic & Exciting Cold Spring Creek

Cold Springs Creek traverse to Tangerine Falls is one of the most beautiful and exhilarating adventures in Santa Barbara—or anywhere else along the California coast. The route comes alive with the constant music of the flowing creek, surrounded by lush canyon walls, and distinctive flora and fauna to this distinctive landscape.
The route is an adventure: rock hopping in the creek, scaling cliff walls, wading through cool water, or combining all three as we wind our way upstream toward the stunning waterfall. Expect a dynamic, hands-on journey where every turn of the canyon reveals something fascinating. 🌿💧🏞️
