How long is the hike? Also is the trail for the hot springs different than the trail with the caves?

The hot springs depending where you get off on the free way can be 7 to 1 mile. I recommend getting off the 101 it's past the tunnel going north. You are suppose to pay $2 to park. Also the hike is uphill and known to have bears around and sometimes the path can be muddy.

Get off at Gaviota state beach for the wind tunnels trail. To get to the hot springs trail take the 1/101 exit which is just a couple miles north of gaviota. I am not sure how long either hike is but I do know that they are fairly easy. Have fun!
