First, there were the Chumash Indians who were at one with the lands. And, then came the Spanish-commissioned Ortega, the first non-native to discover Santa Barbara in 1796. Can you imagine his reaction? He must have thought he found paradise itself. And, a paradise it is. Known as the "American Riviera®" Santa Barbaras beloved for its temperate weather (nearly 75-degrees year-round), its red-tiled roof architecture, and for abutting the sapphire-blue Pacific Ocean and caramel-colored Santa Ynez mountains. Join along on this three-mile walk that takes you from Santa Barbara's Queen of Missions to its historical, wooden-planked Stearns Wharf.
