Divide Peak

There’s a sweet spot atop the Santa Ynez Mountains where it’s possible to see all eight of the Channel Islands in one sweeping gaze. This is it.

Details

Let’s enjoy late fall’s clear air and cooler temps with an invigorating all-day hike exploring some of the most scenic terrain in southern California.  We’ll hike uphill along a clear, well-graded trail and fire road before making a hard, brushy scramble to the summit, where we’ll (hopefully) enjoy awesome views over the Santa Barbara coastline extending all the way out to all eight of the Channel Islands.
 
At nearly 12 miles round trip and with nearly 3000’ of elevation gain, including a fairly hairy rock scramble to the summit, this hike will be strenuous and is suitable only for experienced hikers in very good condition.  We will cheerfully face the possibility of mud, ticks, bushwhacking and poison oak.
 
 

Directions

Hikers originating in L.A. should plan on leaving no later than 7am to meet the coordinator at the halfway carpool point (Camarillo Park-and-Ride at US Highway 101 and Pleasant Valley Road) at 8am SHARP! (At the Pleasant Valley / Santa Rosa Road exit on northbound 101, turn left at the first signal, onto Pleasant Valley Road, which immediately crosses back over the freeway.  At the next signal, you will see a Mobil gas station on the corner to your right; turn left at the signal and loop around to the “Park and Ride” lot.)

Our hike will take us about eight hours to complete, so plan on a full day and an evening return home.
