San Ysidro Trail
Montecito, CA
Free; street parking on E. Mountain Dr
By Simir Shah
A creekside canyon trail from East Mountain Dr with small pools and a waterfall along the way. The full trail climbs to East Camino Cielo, so pick a turnaround point at the pools or falls with younger kids. It's not on the Forest Service's Sept 2026–Sept 2027 storm-damage closure list, but check conditions after rain. Dogs on leash; poison oak is common.
