SUMMARY:Wednesday Evening Hike: Aliso Canyon
DESCRIPTION:This week: Aliso Cyn Loop incl Upper Oso. We will walk the road and through Sage Hill campground to avoid $10 parking fee (cheapskate). Then we walk the lovely Aliso Cyn interpretive trail which leads to the climb up out of the valley. Then we drop down to Upper Oso campground\, which is closed and overgrown 🙁 We’ll pause there for refreshments. On the return we turn left to complete the Aliso Cyn loop\, which meets back with the interpretive trail. Hard Option: Climb “The Wall” instead of switchbacks out of Upper Oso.\nDistance – 7.1 mi\nAscent – 1513ft\nWater crossings – 3” over concrete\nRock scrambling – NO\nBush whacking – NO\nMaximum Grade – >20% (Option: The Wall at 45%!)\nOverall Effort – Medium \nCarpool: Big 5 North lot at 6:00pm \nTrailhead: Snyder Trailhead. Please park completely off the asphalt.\nhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/QpaDNh7KLv4sC5k98 \nStrava link:\nhttps://www.strava.com/routes/3227394716254977790 \nHike Leader this week will be Kevin Hanrahan. If you plan to attend please accept on Meetup. For questions\, Kevin can be reached via text at 805-895-5655. \nAbout Wednesday Evening Hike series\nWe will meet at 6:30p at the trailhead unless otherwise noted for that week. We sometimes carpool to trails up to 45 minutes away. We attempt to vary the trails selecting amongst those that are open and in hike-worthy condition. We hike the front country\, the backside of the front range and occasionally adventure even further. Hikes are typically in the 6-9 mile range with 1500-3000 ft of total ascent. Occasionally we’ll mix in a harder hike where returns can be very late. These hikes are meant for those with some hiking experience and moderate athletic condition. The pace varies and larger groups usually split\, but we will re-group at intersections and stick together where the path is ‘iffy’. Please dress appropriately with hiking boots/shoes and comfortable clothes meant to get sweaty and possible wet. Headlamp and/or flashlight required. Bring a water resistant jacket for rain/gloom or just cold air which is frequent at altitude. We recommend 1-3L water bladder in a backpack depending upon trail difficulty so that your hands are free to cross water or scramble up/down rocks. Bug spray is a good idea as bugs are very active at dusk (better to have and not need.) Some folks bring hiking poles. I recommend long sleeves and pants to prevent scratches\, poison oak and ticks. \nWe typically stop at the top\, add a layer for warmth and enjoy a snack. This can be some of the best fun as folks drag up hot tea\, other libations\, and all sorts of baked goods to share. Yum! \nGroup organizers assume no liability; hike at your own risk. By being a member of this group\, you hereby agree to assume all risks and liability related to or resulting from any group functions. You agree that you nor any third party will hold any of the group’s leaders liable for any injury\, loss\, or damage to your own self or property arising directly or as a consequence of a group activity.

The show will also include several comparison views of the areas affected by the fires of the last several decades. \nBill’s life passion is photographing the California landscape from the ground and the air. Ready to take off at a moment’s notice if the day’s light and skies intrigue him\, Bill’s aerial photography is done from his Cessna 172\, which he keeps at the Santa Barbara airport. Otherwise\, he is in his four-wheel drive Subaru getting off the beaten track! \nBill also specializes in architectural\, commercial illustration\, and fine art photography. His work can be found in the collections of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art\, Museum of Ventura County\, Carnegie Museum of Oxnard\, Santa Cruz Island Foundation\, University of California Santa Barbara\, Lompoc Valley Hospital\, Cal Poly of San Luis Obispo\, and numerous private collections.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Evening Hike: Tequepis
DESCRIPTION:This week: Tequepis Trail. We’ll meet for carpool at Big 5 and drive over to Trailhead. From the parking area near Circle V camp\, we’ll cross the creek a couple places heading steadily upward\, enjoying some great views of Lake Cachuma and the Santa Ynez Valley. This hike\, while long and covering a lot of elevation gain\, is easier than expected given that it never is too steep or requiring high stepping/scrambling over rocks. It is a steady cardio climb\, and we’ll re-group every mile or so. The trail ends at a Camino Cielo frontage road. To the right will be Broadcast Peak and to the left (or straight ahead) a short walk to Camino Cielo and views of the Pacific. Can be windy and cool up top for snack time.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Evening Hike: Arlington Peak
DESCRIPTION:This week: Solstice Part 1 – Arlington Peak. Since the Solstice is Friday\, we’re dividing Solstice celebration into 2 parts. Part 1: Beautiful sunset views of our cherished town. Part 2: (following week) the easier hike and food/drink extravaganza at Dry Falls. This week we’ll meet at Tunnel Trailhead at 6:30p (please carpool). This route ascends Tunnel trail 1.0mi to Inspiration Point Trail. We’ll follow Inspiration Trail for 0.6mi to the South access trail to Arlington Peak. This segment is about a mile long but ascends 1400ft\, so pretty steep and scrambly. We’ll pause for refreshments up top and take in the views. Arlington Peak affords hikers some of the best views of Santa Barbara. The descent is very steep and requires some use of hands to navigate. At the bottom we turn right (South) for about 0.2mi where we meet back with Tunnel Trail and return 1.0mi back to the trailhead and our vehicles.\nDistance – 4.8 mi\nAscent – 2397ft\nWater crossings – NO\nRock scrambling – YES!\nBush whacking – SOME\nMaximum Grade – >50%!!\nStrava Effort – 2.4x \nTrailhead: Tunnel Trailhead (aka Inspiration Point TH)\nhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/ySqYW7G5Zpc7CZri7 \nStrava link\nhttps://www.strava.com/routes/3298516557239974610 \nHike Leader this week will be Kevin Hanrahan. If you plan to attend please accept on Meetup. For questions\, Kevin can be reached via text at 805-895-5655. \nAbout Wednesday Evening Hike series\nWe will meet at 6:30p at the trailhead unless otherwise noted for that week. We sometimes carpool to trails up to 45 minutes away. We attempt to vary the trails selecting amongst those that are open and in hike-worthy condition. We hike the front country\, the backside of the front range and occasionally adventure even further. Hikes are typically in the 6-9 mile range with 1500-3000 ft of total ascent. Occasionally we’ll mix in a harder hike where returns can be very late. These hikes are meant for those with some hiking experience and moderate athletic condition. The pace varies and larger groups usually split\, but we will re-group at intersections and stick together where the path is ‘iffy’. Please dress appropriately with hiking boots/shoes and comfortable clothes meant to get sweaty and possible wet. Headlamp and/or flashlight required. Bring a water resistant jacket for rain/gloom or just cold air which is frequent at altitude. We recommend 1-3L water bladder in a backpack depending upon trail difficulty so that your hands are free to cross water or scramble up/down rocks. Bug spray is a good idea as bugs are very active at dusk (better to have and not need.) Some folks bring hiking poles. I recommend long sleeves and pants to prevent scratches\, poison oak and ticks. \nWe typically stop at the top\, add a layer for warmth and enjoy a snack. This can be some of the best fun as folks drag up hot tea\, other libations\, and all sorts of baked goods to share. Yum! \nGroup organizers assume no liability; hike at your own risk. By being a member of this group\, you hereby agree to assume all risks and liability related to or resulting from any group functions. You agree that you nor any third party will hold any of the group’s leaders liable for any injury\, loss\, or damage to your own self or property arising directly or as a consequence of a group activity.

Bug spray is a good idea as bugs are very active at dusk (better to have and not need.) Some folks bring hiking poles. I recommend long sleeves and pants to prevent scratches\, poison oak and ticks. \nWe typically stop at the top\, add a layer for warmth and enjoy a snack. This can be some of the best fun as folks drag up hot tea\, other libations\, and all sorts of baked goods to share. Yum! \nGroup organizers assume no liability; hike at your own risk. By being a member of this group\, you hereby agree to assume all risks and liability related to or resulting from any group functions. You agree that you nor any third party will hold any of the group’s leaders liable for any injury\, loss\, or damage to your own self or property arising directly or as a consequence of a group activity.
