Hidden Mountain Hot Springs📍Santa Barbara 🏔️💦

I stumbled upon this natural hot spring online and knew I had to try it! Soaking in the warm waters, then enjoying a refreshing, tangy-spicy ceviche afterward—pure bliss! 😌🍋 Parking spots are limited, so when we arrived at the trailhead, only a few spaces remained. We wore our swimsuits under our clothes, parked quickly, and started hiking along the trail. The first half was relatively flat, while the second half got a bit steeper. After about an hour, we reached the hot springs! 🥾⛰️ There were about seven or eight pools in total. The top one was way too hot to handle, so we soaked in the second and third pools for over half an hour each—so relaxing! 🛁💆♀️ We brought towels, dried off after soaking, changed, and headed back down. The return hike took about 40 minutes. ⏳⬇️ ♨️ Hot Springs 📍Hotspring Canyon Trailhead 1217 E Mountain Dr, Montecito, CA 93108 🇲🇽 Ceviche 📍Corazon Cocina 38 W Victoria St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101 Have you ever tried a natural hot spring?
