Start at Upper Los Osos park
Mountains above Santa Bababra
Our path to Alexander Peak
Our 3 Topo waypoints
Start of the service road
After 1 mile of service road
At 9:19 arrive at start of Santa Cruz Trail
A brisk morning, but not really cold
The trail starts with an easy grade
It gets steeper
1/2 way to the top
Heading into the cliff area
The cliffs are eroding
Some areas are relatively narrow
The cliff side is simply not stable
Slide
When the mountain wants to go..
...its hard to hold it back
Away from the cliff face for a bit
Back to the cliff face
At least its not crumbling
Closer to the top
The sun never really broke through
The topographical app is really great
Turn
Forke in the Trail
Trail split
Mountains to the east
This last 1/2 mile turned out to be the toughest
A lot steeper than it looks
Finally the top, lake Cachuma in background
Cachuma at 16X
Looking towards Little Pine

No view of the Pacific today
View from the top

This crazy man rode down on a bike
At least the girl did not ride the hairpin turn
Crossing a slide area
Dave trying to be funny...
Only 1 mile to the car after only 7 hours
