Obern Trail - Cieneguitas Creek section

Modoc Road Multi-use Bike Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Exemplary paved bike trail parallel to Modoc road along the Coastal Bike Route, avoiding potentially dangerous traffic. Unfortunately it currently ends at Burro Arroyo, even though from here to the west there are a couple of miles of parkland on the south side of the road that could be perfect to continue the trail. Hope local bike activits succeed in lobbying for the continuation of the trail.

Santa Barbara County Courthouse

Highlight • Historical Site

One of the most beautiful government buildings in the United States, the Santa Barbara County Courthouse is a working courthouse. We are encouraged to explore what the grounds have in store for us. Here we find the sunken gardens where many weddings are held, an elevator to the 85-foot tall “El Mirador” bell tower with panoramic views of downtown Santa Barbara, many hand-painted rooms full of detail, and many wrought iron handrails and window coverings that make the courthouse what it is - spectacular. We open one of the many doors, behind which a court hearing is currently underway. We sit on the back bench and listen for a few minutes. Two felony handcuffed and shackled prisoners are paraded right past us.
