Montecito Peak Hike

The Santa Barbara are is so green, lush, and gorgeous! Today I got to hike in Montecito/Santa Barbara on a 7 mile hike. I was sick and had nasal congestion, but I survived. I can run 7 miles without problems if its flat. Today was not flat it was very steep and very very rocky! Just getting out of Oxnard and being in a place with more trees and fresh air was just amazing! I could not ask for a better way to spend the first day of Winter Break.

The trails were tough as they were beautiful. The Montecito Trail Hike is full of grass and native plants. Wonderful explosions of blue-green, and grey moss covered many rocks and trees. I loved the earthy smell of trail and was happy that most of the hike is shady. The weather was perfect for a hike, not too hot not too cold and there was a gentle breeze. I hope to someday do the hike again. I love being outside and just surrounded by mother nature :)

[Many thanks to Coach Daw, Mrs. Bemus, and Mr. McFayden for supervising the hike and making sure no one got lost!]
