Figueroa Mountain
Lover’s Loop Hike
Easy to moderate: 4.5 miles, options for additional mileage
This trail is made possible through the generosity of the Midland School which shares some of its 2,860 acres with hikers. The trailhead is just past the end of the Figueroa Mountain Valley and offers a continuous, gentle hike under the canopy of mixed oak trees surrounded by grasslands and often spectacular wildflowers. A rolling trail with moderate hills, this charming walk through the woods culminates with a picnic lunch under a sycamore tree near a seasonal stream. Our guided hike includes permits, transportation to/from the trailhead, a local and professional hiking guide and a picnic lunch.
Picnic lunch and transportation included $150/per person. Option for wine tasting after hike additional $25/person.

Figueroa Mountain Climb/Loop
Distance: Approx. 45-50 miles.
Level of Difficulty: difficult to strenuous
This h’ors cateorie climb is the most challenging ride in Santa Barbara’s wine country. Figueroa Mountain boasts 4350 ft of climbing with inclines as steep as 12-14%. The 10 miles of steep climbing include a mile and a half of dirt before reaching one of the highest paved summits in Santa Barbara County. Professional cyclists have been training in the Santa Barbara wine country since the 1970s. This ride is a great example of how our region compares to the steepest ascents in the Tour de France; making it an ideal place for the pros to train. The descent starts above tree line and follows a technical and narrow route into Los Olivos. Springtime on this particular road is a spectacle of orange poppies and purple lupine. Our signature lunch is served in a quaint park in Los Olivos complete with bocce ball court followed by a craft beer across the street at Figueroa Mountain Brewery. This ride is available as either a loop (10 mile climb with some descents) or ‘climb & down’ ride (9.5 mile climb / descent, steeper grades than loop climb). SAG Vehicle provided. Additional mileage available upon request.
$250/person, min of 2 riders
