A new trail at Santa Barbara Botanic Garden not only offers access to areas not previously open to the public, but also features panoramic views of Mission Canyon, downtown Santa Barbara, and the Channel Islands. The 1.3-mile round trip, out-and-back trail leads to the Garden’s highest point (873 feet) and the site of an active weather station, passing through several ecological habitats currently undergoing native plant restoration. Access to the Garden’s Tipton Trail officially opens on Sunday, November 17 in celebration of National Hiking Day and is free with Garden admission.
The Tipton Trail begins near the Pollinator Section on the Garden’s east side (not far from the Pritzlaff Conservation Center) across Mission Canyon Road. As an advanced south-facing trail, it runs along the Garden’s eastern edge with an elevation change of 329 feet and an average grade of 12.5%.
Reservations are required for Garden admittance and can be made at SBBotanicGarden.org/visit.
