Enjoying nature gets even better with the right gear. Here are three items to enhance the outdoor stoke.

Hike to the Historical Museum

Take a Hike, Save the World is the new exhibit at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum that allows visitors to explore the great outdoors in the comfort of a downtown adobe. Featuring work from 1875 to the present by artists and photographers, it’s a great place to appreciate how many open spaces have been saved from development in the region. And it’s the best exhibit we’ve ever seen when it comes to putting Santa Barbara’s Blue & Green on a proper pedestal. The exhibit will stay until November 13. (136 E. De la Guerra St.; [805] 966-1601; sbhistorical.org.)
