RUNS
|
.: West Camino Cielo :. From Santa Barbara drive up highway 154 and turn left on West Camino Cielo Rd. Take Road to the top (Gun Club) and park on the side of the road. Run up that same road a little further and you will drop down on a hill. The downhill lasts for the first mile and then the uphill starts. The run is all on dirt and consists mainly of a steady uphill for as long as one would want to run. Usually this location is perfect for a steady paced 90 minute to 2 hour run, or mountain bike ride. The views are spectacular especially after about the 45 minute mark there is a great view of all of Santa Barbara to one side and Lake Cachuma to the other. The run is tough, but the views are worth it. The hardest part is the last mile climb on the way back. It is usually warmer up there and drier so bring water and food for after then run. I would also suggest camping up there the night before, to get both the night time and morning panorama of our beautiful city. |
