Sean & I woke up early Sunday Morning and headed to the Tunnel Trailhead, in the Los Padres National Forest, where our adventure would begin.
We started hiking up the Jesusita Trail, to a steep, slightly overgrown ridge that would lead us to some cool rock hopping up the spine of the Dragon's back, bagging the first peak of the day, Arlington Peak.
Selfie of course!
Lunch break at Arlington Peak.
It was a very misty day with the thick fog rolling through the mountains. We had to be careful as we hopped over wet, slick rocks throughout the trail.
The next stop was Cathedral Peak that resembled a shark's tooth. This craggy rock formation was too slippery and dangerous to attempt climbing so we dropped down towards the saddle between Cathedral & La Cumbre peak on a use overgrown trail.
We then headed towards La Cumbre peak which was another steep climb made up of boulders and slabs of Matillija Sandstone.
Finally our 3rd peak of the day La Cumbre Peak.
Bench Mark on the summit.
After a short break we headed down Camino Cielo Road back to the intersection of Tunnel Trail that would lead us out back to the trailhead thus completing our loop.

Sean exhausted and happy to head back home.
