Baron Ranch is open seven days a week for all trail users with one exception: NO DOGS ALLOWED. 


Hike Description:  The Arroyo Quemado Trail starts at the end of segment of Calle Real on the Gaviota Coast close to Highway 101. The trail drops down into the riparian coastal canyon and follows the west side of the Arroyo Quemado Creek along flat land for over 1.5 mile before crossing the creek and continuing north on ranch roads. At the two mile mark the trail forks with the Loop Trail going to the right and the Arroyo Quemado Trail continuing to the left.

At approximately 2.5 miles the trail splits again. To the right is the Loop Trail and to the left Arroyo Quemado Trail continues to Camino Cielo at the top of the Santa Ynez Mountain range. Views along the canyons open up to reveal the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands.
