Hot Springs Trail
Montecito
🥾 Hiking
📸 Scenic
💎 Hidden Gem
A Montecito foothill trail to a series of small natural hot springs — short, scenic, and best on cool days.
The Hot Springs Trail climbs from Mountain Drive past private estates and into the front country. About a mile up, hand-built rock pools collect warm mineral water from natural seeps. The pools are small and seasonal — the hike itself is the reward.
💡 Good to Know Before You Go
Pools are not heated, not maintained, and not always flowing. Park respectfully — it's a residential trailhead.
