Open-range hiking, dark-sky stargazing, and gateway access to Carrizo Plain from the Cuyama Valley.

The Cuyama Valley is SB County's quietest corner — ranchland and oil fields east of the Sierra Madre Mountains. Out here you can hike Caliente Mountain, dark-sky stargaze, and gateway to the Carrizo Plain National Monument's superblooms.
