<\/a>Jesusita Trail leads the hiker through San Roque Canyon up to Inspiration Point.<\/p><\/div>\n
Inspiration Point-bound hikers will continue down the dirt road into the shady confines of the canyon. At a creek crossing, Jesusita Trail resumes as a footpath, angles over to the south wall of the canyon, and ascends out of San Roque Canyon on a dozen or so switchbacks. Emerge on open, chaparral-cloaked slopes and get grand views of Santa Barbara and the ocean. Passing handsome sandstone formations, travel under power lines to the ridgeline and a junction with the Edison power-line road.<\/p>\n
Head left along the road to meet footpaths leading left (north) and south (right). The leftward path is Jesusita Trail and it leads down into Mission Canyon. Reach Inspiration Point by descending east on the power-line road a short distance.<\/p>\n
Look sharply right for a narrow, unsigned connector trail leading 0.2 mile or so to Inspiration Point, a cluster of sandstone boulders. Views from the 1,750-foot point include the city and coastlines of Santa Barbara and Ventura.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
