We begin the hike by traveling south along Santa Ynez Creek, climb a steep ridge to E. Topanga Fireroad, skirt Trippet ranch and return via a descent down into Santa Ynez Canyon. Santa Ynez Canyon features chilly mountain pools, several beautiful waterfalls, and slim sandstone cliffs set in a cool oasis of lush oak and sycamore forests.

There will be a 1,000′ elevation gain between the 1.0 and 1.5 mile mark — you have been warned! Loop is 7.3 miles with total ascent of about 1700′.

I haven’t named this hill yet — maybe we can think of one when we reach the top.
