Hikes

NOTE: Due to the Zaca fire, you should check the Los Padres Forest Closure Orders page and the Zaca Fire Closure Area Map to make sure the hike you want to do is open.

Back Country

The back country hikes category is for trails in and around the upper and lower Santa Ynez river valley or approaching the southern boundary of the Dick Smith Wilderness. Access is usually along Paradise Road, but some are out around Mono camp. Red Rock is a favorite.
