With Jill G and SoCal Hikers and Peakbaggers. I was expecting a long, monotonous road walk but was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the views. Excellent top-of-the-world perspective of the Santa Barbara backcountry and out towards the Channel Islands. Hike was straightforward, except for the descent down the south slope of Old Man Mountain back towards the road. There was no obvious best route, so we just pushed through a short section of moderate brush. Tons of horned lizards running across the trail.

24 mi, 6,000 ft gain.
