The scenery looked breathtaking, and seems like such an adventure. It's clear you put a lot of effort into capturing the beauty of Los Padres National Forest. Thanks for sharing this gem with us - definitely adding it to my hiking list. Keep up the great work!
Oh this is my kind of hike! Particularly after the rains Cali has been getting. I do miss SB. Many a good times growing up visiting the city. Even a couple of the wineries around SB. Never did a lot of hiking though. Something I'll have to remedy. Great views of Mission Canyon. It's nice to see some green in Cali again. We had way too much drought for too long. I love seeing California slowly healing and revitalizing itself through Mother Nature.
I love the AllTrails app. Very helpful. But good to know that it’s pretty much necessary here to avoid going off a cliff. And I’m surprised that this hike is ranked as moderate. Definitely seems like a harder hike with all of the climbing.
