If you blink, you'll miss the dirt lot that leads to the Willow Spring trailhead off Highway 166. It's 18 miles east of Highway 101 in the Los Padres National Forest, and the wildflowers are popping right now. For a quick day trip, this 5 to 6 mile hike is perfect, and it's a good excuse to have a beer on the deck at the Santa Maria Brewery as you head back into town!
