Rattlesnake Canyon Trail – 8:30am. We will hike the familiar Rattlesnake Canyon trail on Friday. This is one of Santa Barbara's most popular trails, so please bring your visiting family and friends!
Rattlesnake is considered "moderately difficult" and a more difficult option continuing to Gibraltar Rd. is possible from the top. The main group (expected to be large due to Holiday week guests) will hike the out and back portion only.
Hiking Distance: 4.4 miles with 1600' of elevation gain for the familiar up and back.
Hiking times: 2 1/2 to 3 hours for the main group (go at your pace).
