Trail Quest: Sulphur Springs Trail | Songs of the Wilderness
https://songsofthewilderness.wordpress.com/2012/06/02/trail-quest-sulphur-springs-trail
Songs of the Wilderness. Posted by: James Wapotich. June 2, 2012. Trail Quest: Sulphur Springs Trail. The appeal of the Sulphur Springs Trail is that it lets one shave some miles off of the hike to Manzana Schoolhouse, which is normally 17 miles roundtrip from the trailhead near Nira Campground, making a day hike more possible or a longer multi-day backpacking trip through the area a little shorter, but not necessarily any easier. Bald Mountain and Hurricane Deck are seen from the Sulphur Springs Trail.

Songs of the Wilderness. Posted by: James Wapotich. May 4, 2015. Trail Quest: Visiting P-Bar Flat Campground. There are four different campgrounds found in the upper Santa Ynez River Recreation Area. Each of them can make for a good base camp from which to explore the different nearby trails. The campground at P-Bar Flat is located near Blue Canyon Trail, which connects to Cottam Camp, and can make for an interesting day hike destination. The Santa Ynez Mountains frame a view along Blue Canyon Trail.

Songs of the Wilderness. Posted by: James Wapotich. April 21, 2015. Trail Quest: Fish Creek. Springtime is one of the best times of the year to head out on our local trails.
