Montecito Holiday Trails Hike Treasure Hunt

 

Holiday Hike Treasure Hunt We couldn't imagine closing out 2020 without a Membership hike together, even if it's just in spirit! Dusty the Elf has inspired a Holiday Hike Treasure Hunt on the trails. He wants to see you out this week hiking:   ~ One Community Trail ~ One Front Country Trail ~ Crossing a Creek ~ Something Beautiful in Nature: Plant, Animal or Flower Everyone that emails us their Holiday Hike Treasure Hunt photos, or tags us on Instagram (#MTFHolidayHike) will be sent (or, if local, delivered by our Board of Directors Elves) an MTF Holiday Ornament. Ends Sunday, December 20. Feeling extra ambitious and want extra-credit? Send us a photo from Montecito Peak! Below is Dusty's example from his Holiday Hike Treasure Hunt!
