Hiking in Los Olivos - Grass Mountain & Zaca Peak

Sunrise hike up Grass Mountain outside Los Olivos. There are free permits for the hike in the register box at the trailhead, provided by Midland School, whose property you need to pass through on the way to Los Padres National Forest. Steep hike up to Grass Mountain.  After Grass Mountain, I headed for Zaca Ridge and then Zaca Peak.  6 mile round trip hike.
