Romero Canyon Out-and-Back

This trail is now the only option for this hike, as the catway washed out in major storms in 2023. The hike is strenuous, climbing up alongside a creek with sandstone boulders strewn about from past storms. Along its corridor you'll see varying canyon flora and have ample opportunities to cool off in the creek. At the summit, you get all-time views of the Pacific Ocean, the Channel Islands, and the coast towns of Montecito and Santa Barbara.
