The Three Peaks Loop is notorious for being the hardest hike in Santa Barbara. The route to Arlington Peak, Cathedral Peak, and La Cumbre is almost completely off trail, with plenty of bushwhacking and spicy scrambling galore. We found the Three Peaks Loop to be the perfect amount of challenge and adventure, and it is really Southern California hiking at its finest!

This is the start of our Santa Barbara hiking series! We can't wait to show you all the beauty that hiking in Santa Barbara has to offer :)
