Photographed on a weekend hike in early December. The Santa Cruz Range sits between Santa Clara Valley (extending from the south end of San Francisco Bay) and Monterey Bay. This park is largely on the top of this ridge, and winter views from here can be quite extensive. (That is the Monterey Peninsula in the distance at the top of the frame.)
