The whole area here burned 2-years ago. But you can see how quickly it grows back. This area I go hike in was basically not accesable before the fire. Now, what was a Dear trail is almost a regular trail for people. There really was no way to get up to this ridge before.
HWY 101. Cant see it but the hidden to the left is the Gaviota Tunnel.
Beggining of trails. Some kids were eaten here several years ago. So the sign. Look at the scratch outs. Kinda funny.
