산타바바라 카운티 주변 최고의 폭포 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

Although this hike starts in a residential neighborhood, it quickly heads up into the hills to provide positively inspiring — get it? — views of the Santa Barbara coastline. The trail is rocky, so it's not boring — and even with a little shade in the steepest parts of the trail, you may want to save this one for a cooler part of the day.

Known locally as Tangerine Falls (but also known as West Fork Cold Springs Falls), this "local Santa Barbara only" waterfall required quite an adventure for us. The hike wasn't really that well marked (at least for the waterfall) and we had to be prepared to do some pretty rough crawling, especially toward the end of the hike where the crawling was almost vertical.

You have to climb over some little Rocks. The ones on the photo are beside them

We turned around here, because the new way is not easy to find an someone said we have to use ropes to climb up the hill

Discover the allure of Inspiration Point Trail in Santa Barbara. Winding through a residential area, this popular trail unveils a stunning viewpoint of the coastal beauty.

Spectacular views from this steep, narrow trail. Hands need to be used at various instances and the path is not clearly marked at some places. Would strongly recommend good hiking shoes. Roughly follows the ridge line. An adventure!

Inspiration Point Trail leads you to a stunning viewpoint of the Santa Barbara coastline and surrounds. This is a popular trail in Santa Barbara, starting in a residential area with no parking lot, so you need to park along the road. The trail can be busy depending on the day, so it’s recommended to get there early, especially on a sunny day. Take water with you during summer, because the rivers can be totally dry.

A perfect sequence of waterfalls with natural pools and lush surroundings, with some pools deeper than others, and depending on the season the waterfalls could have more or less water. The trail to get to the falls can be considered moderate to difficult, with some steep parts, however it’s worth it for a refreshing soak after hiking.
