Description: Three interpretive hikes – ranging from easy to moderately strenuous – will be led by trained docents who will introduce you to the plant life, wildlife, landscape, and geology of this former private ranch. A fourth stroll for disabled wheelchair folks and children in strollers will be led by a wheelchair-enabled docent. Participants are welcome to bring their own lunch to enjoy under the oaks following the hikes’ completion.
The hikes provide an opportunity to see and hike through this pristine property. Get up close to the Little Pine Fault, view wildflowers including the Yerba Mansa, Jewel Flower, Wild Onion, Bush Lupine, California Poppies, and many more, depending on the season and the winter rains. View all three Santa Barbara County Oaks – Valley Oak, Blue Oak and Coast Live Oak along the way.
