Santa Barbara offers every kind of trail, from easy beach strolls to grueling, multi-thousand foot climbs up the front country peaks. (More on the former in Part 2.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To start, no account of the Santa Barbara hiking scene would be complete without at least mentioning <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspiration Point<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This trail is a wildly popular, well-maintained, easy-to-moderate 3.4-mile out-and-back. Inspiration Point offers stunning views of what seems like all of Santa Barbara County; sweeping from Summerland to the east, across all of Santa Barbara proper, and stretching all the way to Goleta to the west. On a clear day (which is most days) you can even see the Channel Islands, nearly 30 miles south into the Pacific.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a more involved approach to Inspiration Point, consider <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jesuita Trail<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A moderate 6.8-mile out-and-back, Jesuita takes you from Stevens Park in the Upper State Street neighborhood right up to Inspiration Point. From there, you can turn around to complete the out-and-back, or head north and climb <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arlington Peak<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, turning your moderate 6.8-mile hike into a difficult 12.2-mile climb, complete with scrambling sections. (Take note: while the old rule of thumb advises packing one liter of water per two hours of hiking, you can easily double this hiking Arlington Peak in hot weather; the trail includes several exposed stretches with no shade, where dehydration can really take hold.) If you\u2019re up for the challenge, the view from Arlington blows Inspiration Point out of the water.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":33655,"id":33655,"title":"Picture of Dog","filename":"Picture-of-Dog.jpg","filesize":77318,"url":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture-of-Dog.jpg","link":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/fr\/picture-of-dog-2\/","alt":"Dog at Bill Wallace Loop","author":"53","description":"","caption":"","name":"picture-of-dog-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":0,"date":"2022-05-12 22:41:14","modified":"2022-05-12 22:51:31","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":420,"height":747,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture-of-Dog-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture-of-Dog-169x300.jpg","medium-width":169,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture-of-Dog.jpg","medium_large-width":420,"medium_large-height":747,"large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture-of-Dog.jpg","large-width":420,"large-height":747,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture-of-Dog.jpg","1536x1536-width":420,"1536x1536-height":747,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture-of-Dog.jpg","2048x2048-width":420,"2048x2048-height":747,"blog-preview":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture-of-Dog-420x353.jpg","blog-preview-width":420,"blog-preview-height":353,"post-thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture-of-Dog.jpg","post-thumbnail-width":420,"post-thumbnail-height":747,"gform-image-choice-sm":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture-of-Dog.jpg","gform-image-choice-sm-width":169,"gform-image-choice-sm-height":300,"gform-image-choice-md":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture-of-Dog.jpg","gform-image-choice-md-width":225,"gform-image-choice-md-height":400,"gform-image-choice-lg":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Picture-of-Dog.jpg","gform-image-choice-lg-width":337,"gform-image-choice-lg-height":600}},"image_link":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Panoramic view from Arlington Peak, featuring the author\u2019s brother and girlfriend.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve chosen to set up shop in the Santa Ynez Valley or by Lake Cachuma, consider <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Snyder Trail<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a moderate 7.2-mile out-and-back that starts practically steps from the Los Prietos Campgrounds.
