Misty Mountains

This spectacular view captures the view from the western slopes of Cerro Noroeste looking out toward the northwest part of the Chumash wilderness just after sunset.  Cerro Noroeste is one of three 8,000 foot peaks at the northern point of the Chumash Wilderness which is located in the Los Padres National Forest.   The Chumash people are Native Americans of the Central and Southern coastal regions of California stretching from Malibu in Los Angeles County through Santa Barbara and up to  San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay to the north.
