Re: Big Caliente & Little Caliente

Thanks for the report DCR. I've been going to Big and Little Caliente for over 20 years and have never encountered any of the problems you mentioned. I will admit that I never go in summer because I want to avoid the crowds. The other 3 seasons are much better. Winter is actually the best, because usually the gate at Santa Ynez campground is closed and people must hike or bike in the 5 miles to Little C. Definitely keeps the crowds out. Thanks for the report. I hope you make another visit at a different time of year. I'll be heading up there probably in November, January and March.
