Hot Springs Canyon Trailhead 1202-1298 East Mountain Drive, Montecito, CA 93108

"The trail there can be a difficult depending on the route you take. The water was super nice and the views are awesome. It's like half way up the mountain so there is a hike up. There's four or five pools the water level changes tho. It's a nice temperature to sit in for while then get out and back in. It was fairly busy as well"

"Amazing spot. Found it on a whim last new years. I've been hunting hot springs ever since and this place is second to none for me now that hobo campground has been DESTROYED by the park rangers. Small parking lot. 45-60 min hike up to the springs. About 6 pools cascade down a ravine, each pool a little cooler then the last, with another spring in the middle to keep all the pools pleasantly warm. The place started to get packed with parties and booze around 4/5PM so me and the hubby bounced. Good for them! Just not our scene. Lots of naked hippies so cover your children's eyes! Great spot over all and I can't wait to go back."

"Recommend going early in the day if it's your first time because the trail can be confusing at times! But a great hike!"

"A friend took me here and it was one of the best hikes ever! I went late in the day and stayed for a few hours until night fell. Remember to bring a lantern and enjoy the vibes."

"Intense hike. Not for beginners. You need to have hiking experience. I am a hiker and this got my ticker tickin’. Lots of rock climbing in multiple places of the trails. Will take a couple of hours to complete the shorter trails. You’ll get over 1,500 FT in elevation."
