Easy(ish) Finish

Started the hike at 8:30. The weather was perfect with clear sunny skies and temperatures in the 50s. We made the quick trek up to Pinos in half an hour. Then we began the steep descent into the valley before making the next climb up the Sawmill. We summitted Sawmill a little before 10. On the way back the short climb back up to Pinos was probably the worst part due to the steep grade but other than that this was a pretty easy hike compared to the other peaks in the challenge.

Overall this was a nice easy and beautiful hike in such a low trafficked area in the Los Padres. There were great views of the Central Valley to the north and the Topa Topas to the south.
