Reyes Peak - Los Padres National Forest

"Comin' down from the mountain
I have seen the high and mighty
I will go again someday
but for now I'm comin' down..." **



Reyes Peak is a Kings Peak indeed; you can see past mountain ranges and valleys all the way down to the ocean. Camping out on a remote mountainside, up windy highways and rocky roads...a great way to get your bearings when they are gone.

**From a mix a well meaning crazy person gave me in college, I think it's the Meat Puppets. Stuck in my head on the trip nonetheless.
