An easy hike to a cool ruined structure.

You can get to Knapp's castle from the front trail, or drive around back (shadier behind the mountain). Freemont trail or snyder trail will take you there. This is the coolest summit to an awesome hike; ruins of an early 1900s castle that burned down.

this castle was built over 100 years ago (1916) by George Knapp, the founder of Union Carbibe (a subsidiary of Dow Chemical). In 1940, Frances Holden bought it and allowed her friend to move in with her. The castle was destroyed 5 weeks later by a forest fire. Today, it still remains private property but it is open to the public. it is a great place to view Santa Ynez River Canyon, Lake Cachuma, and San Rafael Mountains.

In the mountains above Santa Barbara, there is a plot of privately owned land surrounded by the Los Padres National Forest. On that land stand the remains of a palatial estate that burned down seventy years ago, the so-called Knapp’s Castle. To the ruins and back is a 0.8-mile round trip hike with 50 feet of elevation change. The majestic views from this unique spot far exceed the effort.
