One of the finest intermediate rides in California, all accessed from untravelled roads tucked adjacent to wilderness. This climb, descent and overall experience is a world class way to experience the los padres and the santa ynez valley.

Begin at the pigeon spring shooting area (no longer an active shooting area for usfs). Ride up the road to the summit of Ranger Peak, which will provide incredible views of the santa ynez valley along the way up. Once just below the summit of the peak on the western saddle, a short singletrack climb takes you up to a southern saddle, after which it is a bombing 5 mile descent on singletrack back to the car. Flowing fast turns on easy trail grade through wildflower meadows the entire way.

Once a road and trail used for mining and cattle grazing.
