2008 Summit Fire, Santa Cruz Mountains, California-3 months later

2008 Summit Fire, Santa Cruz Mountains, California-3 months later

Summit Road is a windy and often narrow dirt route into the area burned on the mountainous border of Santa Cruz and Santa Clara counties. In all 4,270 acres were consumed. The day I was there one could hear shotgun blasts echoing off of the canyons. Needless to say this was positive reinforcement to not intrude on private property.
