***1.)MY CAR GOT BROKEN INTO! Including two other cars, we were gone for about 3 hours. If youre going to park your car, park near the building next to the parking lot, cause they have cameras..***2.) Its all uphill trying to get to the springs. Its beautiful and worth it. One of the springs your whole foot will sink into the mud, but its a gorgeous place Im planning on coming back and it really is warm.

Except for Parks and Rec staff who ticketed us in spite of the fact that we paid the fee as required! Parks staff need people skills!

Great hike! Started early, ended up above the clouds!

Really fun trail to hike to the peak, it can feel steep in places but it’s not technical. There’s no water on the route, so travel prepared. We went on a Wednesday and only saw one other hiker, it was really peaceful and remote.

Make sure to come prepared! The peak is a pretty intense hike, especially if you go up the direction the hot spring is at. Id recommend going to the right when the path breaks off (towards tunnel view) and take the trail straight up to the peak! Once youre coming down close to the bottom where the shade and trees start, there is a trail that has no signs which leads to the hot springs if you want to take a soak once youre pretty much done.lol So all together though, bring water, snacks, comfy/durable shoes and anticipate being in the sun the whole time. The hike is BEAUTIFUL and totally worth it after the first trial error. Lol be safe and enjoy. Theres a notebook in the bucket you can sign at the peak too!

The hike was accurately described as dry and in the sun. We made it to the first hot spring and was over the hike to the top.

Trespass trail has the best view but its a challenging path to take.

Two small hot springs. Smells of sulfur. Not really a good natural spring to soak in, too small and too shallow.

Less than a mile to get to the hot springs. Very pretty.

The springs are small, smelly, and cloudy.The grass was growing over the trail when I went here and I was bitten by a tick.

Hike to the hotsprings was worth it. But the other hiking trails there are not worth it, nothing scenary to see unless you just want a good workout

Is the wonderful natural hot water nice place and quiet area

Great walk. Well beaten down trail and soaking feet at the end was perfect. Wish people would pick up their trash...

Not bad for a primitive hot spring. 30 miles north of Santa Barbara. $2 to park. Close to fwy. Short uphill hike to the pools. Went on a weekday and there were a few different people coming by, soaking (naked) but not creepy. We soaked alone for almost 2 hours since the temperature is luke warm, shallow and smells of Sulphur. Peaceful and quiet if there’s nobody around. Would go again, but not on a weekend, I would imagine it being quite busy.

Awesome place to hike when its not over crowded....

Solid 6 mile roundtrip trek. Mountain views all the way up..then you reach the finish line at the top and the views are Stunning!

If you are going to hike 3 miles straight uphill, the view from the top should be pretty nice, and it is. I got a wonderful view of the valley and the ocean on a clear morning from the peak as well as beautiful wildflowers on the small single track to the peak.Still, its a straight hike up a fire road.

Easy trail to the hot spring. Which is more of a warm spring.

Its a quick 5 mins walk to the sulphur springs, but the setting is beautiful and shaded.

$2 day use fee.

My favorite trail run. A great strenuous activity

Its a great place to go on a great hike and finish your hike with relaxing in the hot springs!

Great view left turn at the end of trail

If you plan to mountain bike here, I would recommend somewhere else. Its a nonstop steep climb up 2,700ft. Unless you plan on biking along the spine, just hike this place.

Great hike great view.

Its one amazing trail almost right behind my backyard that I didnt know about. Highly recommend it.

This was a really fun experience. A straight up and down hill climb, till you reach the springs. There are 2 pools of warm sulfur springs. They are not big enough to jump in, but they are deep enough to sit down in and have your shoulders covered. Dont forget to take off your silver jewelry....

DONT FORGET TO PAY THE PARKING FEE. Great hike, fun and beautiful for a short hike or a swim in the hot springs. But if you dont remember to pay your parking permit you will most likely get a ticket like we did once. Just pay the $2 and youll have a great day in nature :)

A great little hot spring up a short, but all up hill hike. There are two pools close by each other. The upper is clear and nice, not too hot. The hike map Google gave me only took us part way there, then we had to pick a trail and find it ourselves. A beautiful place.

No dogs allowed. I didn’t actually hike it because I was traveling with a dog. I was really excited to hike it. I talked to a couple of guys that just got back and said it was an awesome hike.

Amazing view

Parking is $2, if I remember correctly. The hot springs are more like warm springs, but I was fine with that. The hike to Gaviota Peak from here wasnt bad at all. Just bear right when you get to the point where you have a direct view (keeping your eyes pointed on trail) of the ocean.

A grind. Some good views

Good place to hike and amazing views. Also visited the hotsprings but were too crowded.

Nice running trails..

An uphill walk and well worth it.

Easy distance, but straight up.

Beautiful trail. Kid friendly. Easy trail, but not going to surfice for a workout if that is what youre looking for!

Needs a bit of signage, but a nice trip, try it early in the morning, when cooler

This is a tough trail - uphill just about all the way - but fun, beautiful scenery, not very crowded... A great respite from the smokey air from the Thomas fire. Get out and hike!

Nice hike

$2 parking or free parking if you walk a little. 1 mile walk to the springs. Longer hike if youd like. Springs are enough to dip your feet in for fun. Quite scenic and covered w trees once you get to the springs. Good for a short scenic hike.

Trespass Trail to Gaviotta Peak. Narrow and more difficult not for novice or children. While the Firefighter road is ok for families.

Awesome hike

Nice little hot springs. I prefer a little warmer, but easy accessibility makes these pools a fun day trip.

I love the hike and all the beautiful wild flowers

Be carefull lots of homeless people hangouts over there with there dogs without leash

AWESOME, AWESOME.Not 5.9 miles more like 6.7 miles

Very nice view,cloudy but nice.

Lots of people for not a lot of hot spring.

Is Great for hiken, and mountain Biking.

Its a nice hike

Steep, muddy hike to a nasty warm pool. Beautiful and worth the hike just not even warm...

It s a good place for hiking

Great hike

Easy hike up the the hot spring, bath-water warm spring, a bit shallow but was enough for 6 people to submerge ourselves completely and a little kid to swim around. Brackish shade to water, sulfur smell was not offputting, a little slimy at the bottom - overall worth it! Would do it again.

Amazing hike

Very nice views and it has 3 trails to pick from, the Hot springs trail is not too long but the tunnel view and the underpass are really fun.

Good place to hike and enjoy springs. Except they do take the parking policy and citations seriously

It is a good place to be hiking at less 1 or more

It was a great place to clear ur mind

It is small and people are in the water. Expect no pictures from here, unless you kindly ask people if possible.

Beautiful hotsprings. They arent that hot, $5.00 parking fee.

Kind of a dud unless youre a decent hiker and prepared. Not a casual walk like they suggest. Uphill all the way and it seems like a lot more than the half mile each way they say.

Lukewarm, but close to the road. Went early in the morning and there was plenty of privacy but then more and more people came. A beautiful setting!

Kool views dope hike

Not what you expect in a hot spring... Hike is nice.

If you are a hiker, youll love it.

Perfect temperature

Great hike, great view

Beautiful

Bring a few bucks to pay for parking

Relaxing place

Hard trail

Good

Amazing !!!!

Water is little muddy
