Cold Spring Trail
Cold Spring Trail is one of the most popular and versatile hiking destinations in the Santa Barbara area, offering various routes that range from shaded creek-side strolls to strenuous climbs with panoramic views. The history of the Cold Spring Trail is rooted in the early development of Montecito and the city’s search for reliable water sources in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
