Description

A traverse of Los Padres National Forest from Cuyama/Ventucopa to Upper Oso Campground (outside of Santa Barbara). The route starts at the last gate at the entrance to the Dick Smith Wilderness on Forest Route 9N11. It follows this road until it turns into Buckhorn Road, which it follows until Buckhorn Road terminates at Upper Oso Campground, where there is a gate as the road turns into Camuesa Canyon Road. This is the path of least resistance, following a fire road with no major turns for the entire traverse.
