I recently went on a hike up the Rattlesnake Canyon Trail which is located about ten minutes from the Botanical Gardens of Santa Barbara. The flowers and other plants are really lush right now and I strongly suggest taking the time to enjoy the beautiful life within as well as around us. We were near a creek nearly the entire time, when we reached a nice location with some large boulders and a decently sized pool we decided to stop an have lunch. This is also a perfect time to meditate or at the very least take the time to appreciate ones life. The water is very refreshing especially after a nice hike and the over all experience of hiking is one that I have gained thorough interest. If anyone has any trails, or other hiking suggestions please let me know.
