Montecito
🥾 Hiking
📸 Scenic
💎 Hidden Gem

A classic creekside Montecito climb — east and west forks, year-round water, and big front-country views.

Cold Spring is the foothill hike most Montecito residents grew up on. The trail splits into east and west forks following Cold Spring Creek through a shady canyon. Continue up to Montecito Peak or Camino Cielo for one of the best ridge-line views in the county.
