Day Trips in Santa Barbara

It’s spring time in Santa Barbara which means wild flowers.

And a favorite destination for locals to view the wildflowers is Figueroa Mountain. Figueroa Mountain is located just 50 miles from downtown Santa Barbara… take Route 154 just past the Los Olivos grocery store. Take a right on Figueroa, passing Neverland Ranch, drive approximately 30 minutes until you reach a wall of flowers.

The drive through Santa Barbara wine country and up through the breath-taking foothills leads visitors to a sea of California poppies and Lupine flowers. Figueroa Mountain is a perfect place to picnic, hike, photograph and explore. And, be sure to purchase a National Forest Adventure Pass if you plan on parking for the day.
