We began our trip at the Santa Barbara Campground and took the south trail along the West Fork of the Santa Barbara River.  Brad and Richard are trying position the on a tree to hang the bearbag.
This mountain is at the end of the West Fork of the Santa Barbara River.
Looking south at the divide and the trail down that we followed to cross the Skyline Trail to get to the Middle Fork of the Santa Barbara River.
While resting on the Skyline Trail we could see mountain goats on this mountain, but they didn't show up in the picture.
