Caliente Hunter's Trail

Where:  East of Santa Maria near Cuyama 
Who Should Go:  Hikers, Cyclist and Equestrians
Highlights:  The new trail allows access to the Caliente Resource Area; equestrians and hikers may enter the wilderness area after 2.5 miles of multi -use trail and climb to the Caliente Ridge for a beautiful view of the Cuyama Valley and access to Soda Lake.
How to Get There:  From San Luis Obispo, drive south on Highway 101 to the Hwy166 east; travel east 39 miles; on north side of road look for green horse gate marked with small "public access" sign. 
Where To Park:  On the wide shoulder; horse trailers may be turned in a turnout several hundred feed east of the trailhead.
Please Note:   This trail is on private land leading into a wilderness area; blazing new trails will cause trail closure in this fragile area.
