Gaviota Peak

Gaviota Peak - Loop Trail

Decided to bag this peak prior to attending a wedding later in the day in the day Santa Ynez Valley. As so often happens, it was socked in during the AM but had clearer views from above. The fog eventually burned off but not before I got discombobulated in the clouds at one point (good thing for GPS!).
