Welcome! If you are an outdoor recreationalist who lives in Southern or Central California, or if you've ever wanted to explore the coastal mountains and canyons of Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties - then this site is for you.
Over the past decade I've mapped most of the Southern Los Padres National Forest. In 2003 I released my first map of the San Rafael Wilderness and....
HOT OFF THE PRESS in 2008 my latest map of the Dick Smith & Matilija Wilderness.
Both maps are extremely detailed; featuring trail conditions, camp locations, trail mileages, points of interest, shaded mountain relief, GPS grid coordinates, and are printed on tear resistant waterproof paper. The maps are useful for all outdoor recreation; including hiking, equestrian use, motorcycling, mountain biking, dirt biking, OHV, backpacking, climbing, and those just seeking a relaxing time away from the cities.
If you have plans of exploring any of the Santa Barbara or Ventura backcountry areas I think you'll find that these maps will enhance your experience on the trail and at the same time help you plan your trip from home.
For more information about each map click on the map area above or on the map titles below. I've also provided a listing of place names that occur within each map. If you know a place you'd like to visit use your browsers find option and enter in the name of that place you wish to visit. This should help you figure out which map covers the area you are interested in. If this low-tech solution fails feel free to drop me an email and I'll help as best I can: BryanConant@yahoo.com
