Created in 1992, the Sespe Wilderness encompasses more than 200,000 acres of wild and protected land within Los Padres National Forest. Best known for its hot springs, within these natural lands you will also find scenic waterways, pine-covered mountains, quiet meadows, and miles of trails to explore.
Join local author James Wapotich as he shares images and stories from his day hikes and backpacking treks through this diverse wilderness area. James is a trail guide, Volunteer Wilderness Ranger with Los Padres National Forest, and author of the Santa Barbara News-Press hiking column, Trail Quest. He leads classes on backpacking, wilderness awareness skills, and mindfulness in nature.
This free presentation is part of the Trail Talks series hosted by the Santa Barbara Public Library.
The next talk in the series is Thursday, April 17, Searching for Wildflowers in Santa Barbara County with Sally Isaacson
