Here are a few pics of a place I found this morning. It is the Figueroa Mountain outlook. What a great way to start a Sunday.

Beautiful shots. Where exactly is that?

I took mine on some ridge trails near Big Sur when I first got it. Amazing views to the ocean and the central valley.

The summit is around 4500 feet

Spent many a summer on our land outside of Cascade, so I know what you mean.

Great photos, much nicer than the Blackhawk country club where I went for a party on Saturday night. So far the highest I've had my H3 is at the top of Mount Hamilton (4200 feet), east of San Jose.
