Road Trip: Through the Los Padres National Forest / August 2020

Road Trip: Through the Los Padres National Forest / August 2020

This road trip turned out to be a spontaneous, spur-of-the-moment excursion into and though part of teh Los Padres National Forest. We pull off I5 north of Gorman to check out Frazier Mountain. Couldn't find the trailhead, so decided to road trip the rest of the afternoon. Frazier Mountain road to Lockwood Valley Road into the LPNP until we hit Maricopa Highway (33) and headed south, up into the mountains and through. I'd never actually been to or through this area so it was all entirely new to me. Quite some scernry and scenic vista views as we climbed S/SW/W up 33 into the mountains. Dry, hot (100º-110º) and dusty. Definitely going to come back to this area and explore the hiking options sooner than later.
