Description 

A hand-full of small sandstone boulders are scattered throughout this very pleasant and scenic park. Each boulder has a few high quality moderate routes. What the park lacks in quantity it makes up for with quality. Very convenient and user friendly.


Getting There 

From the 101-Fwy, exit Mission Street. Head north, toward the mountains. Follow Mission Street past the Mission as it winds up toward the hills. Turn right on Foothill Drive (a.k.a. Hwy-192) and then left on Mission Canyon Road. Stay right at the Y. Make a hard right onto Los Canoas. Follow Los Canoas as it winds around the foothills. The entrance to Skofield Park is on the right, just beyond the Rattlesnake Canyon trailhead.

The Cracked Boulder is one of my favorite pieces of rock in the entire Santa Barbara area. The Fissure King is a must do!
