Arroyo BurroParks

Arroyo Burro trail is a 2.7-mile trail that begins roughly half a mile after you start your hike up the Jesusita Trail, and ends at East Camino Cielo.  Signage is available and differentiates the two trails.  The trail switches back and forth between dirt trail, paved road, and dirt road. 

This trail is lightly used in comparison to other front country trails, so if you are looking for quiet, this might be the trail for you.

Caution. Visitors may encounter: hikers, dogs, horses, bikers, poison oak, snakes, and other wildlife Please see our trail etiquette page for tips on how to be courteous trail users. 

All of Santa Barbara’s front country trails are challenging due to their steep incline, rocky terrain, and drop-offs.  Please use caution.
