Gaviota Peak in the Santa Ynez Mountains
on the Pacific Coast North of
Santa Barbara, California
The day started out nice with some clouds. I was hoping it would clear a little more for some blue sky, but instead a storm moved in and it began to rain. My goal was to reach a saddle on the mountain and then climb a bit higher for some views of the ocean. That didn't happen and I was forced to pull out the rain jacket, put the camera away, and head back to the trailhead. These are some photos I was able to get and that I'm happy about.
