Cone Peak

Here is the view of the northern mountains, including Cone Peak, from the camp area.  The peak on the right is Cone Peak, and the one on the left is locally named Twin Peak, since it is the companion of the large mountain which dominates the view and the climate of the area, Cone Peak.
In the front of the picture is a madrone tree, with berries showing in orange.  A large oak is to the left, and a pine stands directly in front of Cone Peak, which is an inactive volcano.
Storms that come in from the Pacific are usually deflected by the large mass of the mountain and so they cycle through this area of the coast creating greater rainfall than in other areas.   
Cone Peak has been an area of pilgrimage since time immemorial and continues to draw many hikers and visitors from all over.  The entrance to the road and trail up the peak is at the summit of Nacimiento Road.  From that intersection, it's seven miles to the Heart of the Wild camp.  Mountain biking and hiking are popular ways to see the countryside.
