Lizards Mouth Rock

"Lizard’s Mouth Rock is a great little spot surrounded by beautiful outcroppings that are easy to climb. It’s a great spot for a hike with your friends and even a picnic of the wind is low that day. If you’re into photography, you can get great aerial shots of Santa Barbara and surrounding areas, as well as pictures of the rocks and plant life. The sky has almost always had an uplifting tapestry of clouds every time I’ve visited. Come up at night and hang out in one of the nearby caves to enjoy a sheltered view of the stars which are brilliant even such a short distance from the city."

"I finally got to this side of the 154 and to my surprised I found this amazing rock formations, the day was a little over cast but still beautiful and this place was gorgeous."

"Amazing place for sunset. Can't beat the views over SB. Bring warm clothes in fall and winter."

"The drive up for about 10 minutes is a little narrow and such. I wish I was able to spend some more time climbing the rocks and such. It’s a quick hike to lizard mouth rock but there’s a lot of different routes you can take around the area and large boulders to climb. You do have to climb a few large boulders so be mindful of that. The view is pretty great and can see Santa Barbara and the ocean from the boulders. Dog friendly as well"

"If you enjoy exploring around rocks, in small caves, rock scrambling or rock climbing, this park is always worth a visit. You can spend all day hiking and bouldering until your heart is content, and for serious climbers, there are multiple locations for belaying, rappelling, and some free climbing. Views of all of Goleta and Santa Barbara are below, as you enjoy the varied and challenging terrain. Easy trails for hikes and kids, and more challenging routes for scrambling allow all skill levels to enjoy this beautiful rocky place. Lizards Mouth Rock is the main attraction here, but there is plenty more to see."
