California – Santa Barbara Front Country – Montecito Peak

Pretty amazing run starting at Cold Springs trailhead. It’s pretty well traveled but check AllTrails for the routing as there are a lot of paths you can take. Route to the peak is off the main trail onto a narrow, unmarked-ish, loose rock/shale path to the top. Well worth it or even better continuing to Camino Cielo after summiting (adds a significant amount of distance).

California – SYRA – Red Rocks to Gibraltar Dam

Fantastic trail starting from the furthest point into the SYRA (via car). Red Rocks is a popular family / swimming spot in the summer and very crowded. Once you get out of the crowd it gets more and more interesting with the terrain. Somewhat exposed and remote.
