Our hike begins at the Greenwell Preserve parking lot. We’ll hike up Ortega Ridge to the Ortega Reservoir and then onto the Coffin Family Trail, passing through wildflower meadows and under botanical archways. We descend back to the ocean along Romero Canyon Creek. From there we’ll hook up with the Summerland Loop Trail, walk a few blocks in the neighborhood, past a historic barn and back to our cars.
Optional: We’ll have lunch at the Padaro Beach Grill in Carpinteria.
Hike is about 4.5 miles with 900 feet total ascent and rated Easy+. See the HWD Hike Rating Guide
