Hot Springs Canyon Trailhead
Montecito
A 2.5-mile round trip hike leads to natural hot springs tucked into the Montecito hills, where tiered pools offer mountain views and warm waters at varying temperatures. It's a moderate climb along a creek that rewards tired legs with a soak in the top pool, the warmest of the bunch.
