La Cumbre Peak
La Cumbre Peak is a peak in the Santa Ynez Mountains north of Santa Barbara, California. Made up of boulders and slabs of the Matilija Sandstone amid groves of pine trees, it is the highest summit near to the city. Other peaks in the Santa Ynez Range are Santa Ynez Peak, to the west, and Divide Peak, to the east.
The road to the top, East Camino Cielo, is frequently used by runners and cyclists for training, as the elevation gain is substantial and sustained, while there is relatively little car traffic.
