Santa Barbara Hikes: Inspiration Point

Inspiration Point Hike

Tunnel Road Trailhead
3.5 miles round trip
800ft elevation gain

This beautiful hike is my favorite in Santa Barbara. It’s 3.5 miles round trip with an 800 ft elevation gain from the Tunnel Road Trailhead. It’s beautiful view of the city, the ocean and the Channel Islands make it especially popular for couples during sunset. Don’t forget to bring a bottle of wine!

    Inspiration Point is one of the best hikes in Santa Barbara-at least in my opinion. I thoroughly enjoy that you have the choice to either go to Seven Falls or Inspiration point when you’re trekking up that mountain. On a cloudless day the top of both peaks -the views are tremendous. If you go in the spring time after the rainy season, Seven Falls is awesome with the water fall you can actually swim under and enjoy! It gets awful hot up there so it is really refreshing! I’ve been doing this hike for a few years now and it never gets old. I’m a huge advocate for saving cash when I’m only spending time outdoors and such! The South Coast Inn (www.goleta-hotel.com) was the ideal choice for me whenever I come and stay in town. Close to the beach, hiking trails and an ideal bike path that takes you right downtown!
