Est-ce pour vous ?

Pour qui c'est

Families and couples visiting the Ellwood Mesa monarch grove can turn it into a walk of just under two hours, from the butterfly habitat to the bluff tops facing the islands and down to the beach, solving puzzles in the landscape along the way. The 3.1 km route crosses uneven ground with climbs, so anyone with limited mobility or hoping for town sights should pick a flatter route.

Quelques réponses avant de partir

Questions fréquemment posées

Is this a scavenger hunt in Santa Barbara?
Yes. It is a self-guided outdoor scavenger hunt at Ellwood Mesa, played on your phone. It covers three settings: the butterfly habitat, the bluffs above the beach and the beach itself. Along the way you solve challenges, including some not often seen in natural settings. It is free to play.
Where does the walk start and finish?
It starts at Ellwood Mesa Open Space & Sperling Preserve and finishes at the Ellwood Butterfly Preserve Parking Lot. In between, the route follows the beach access trail, the Butterfly Grove Trail, the Bluffs Overlook Trail and the trail to Ellwood Beach, about 3.1 km in total.
How long does it take, and can we pause?
Most players take just under two hours, walking and puzzles included. You can pause and continue later. It is all outdoors with little shade on the bluffs, so bring a hat, sunscreen and enough water, and make sure your phone is fully charged or carry a power bank.
Is it good for kids?
It is tagged as family friendly, and the mix of butterfly grove, clifftop views and beach keeps things varied. The terrain is uneven with changes in elevation over about 3.1 km, so it suits children who can comfortably walk that distance on natural trails.
Do we need to book a time or join a group?
No. The quest is free to play and you can start whenever you like. There is no guide and no group to join, so families, couples or friends simply play together on a phone at their own pace.
