Fantastic camping ground ideal for walks and practicing rock climbing! Dog-friendly and reasonable parking. Paved paths, as well as dirt trails, allow you to choose your hike difficulty! Fifteen minutes away from downtown Santa Barbara a fantastic local gateway!
LOVE Skofield Park! They have huge, magnificent boulders that fell and left just enough space for even tall toddlers to crawl through! It feels like my new happy place in Santa Barbara. AND it’s right around the corner from the Rattlesnake trail which I have enjoyed before.
Super clean nice and safe area to get some recreation in. We parked and then did the rattlesnake trail. It's pretty easy going up until about the 2 mile mark and then finally gains some ascent. You really have to commit to connecting at the top of the trail to get to the top of the ridge for the views. Overall though really like the Rocky trail and as it was a bit technical.
Really nice and quiet area. Beautiful creek with some nice hidden places. Usually not too busy. There is a lot of critters which is important if you have a puppy or relatively hyperactive dog. Now that my dog knows where the squirrels and rabbits are it can get hard to leave play fetch without distractions
Incredible views of the mountains from throughout the park. Great paved main walking trails and additional dirt trails leading to massive rock formations. Peaceful and quiet. Free parking.
