We were on a Southern California "overland" trip. During the week we traveled nearly 600 miles and were able to do over 50% of it off asphalt. This was near the start of a route from Solvang to Santa Barbara that runs the ridge above them both. Loved ths old wooden bridge.

This is a beautiful shot; thanks for sharing. I made it my desktop background because everything is a similar tint; it allows icons to remain very visible.
I guess the road is plowed really wide for safety and because it can be? Obviously it isn't that wide to handle traffic volume...

Beautiful mountains, scenery...trails are not terribly tough, but I had to go easy on this trip. We had a couple along that had their Land Cruiser, not much ground clearance...still had a great time.

It was really pretty.
We got stuck & had snowshoers help pull us out by means of a tow rope & a game of tug of war-
I wish I could have gotten a picture- of that but I had to drive and the other half was pulling...
The problem was is that we didn't air down prior to messing in the deep stuff.
We weren't stuck in this first one- but oddly we were in the second & 3rd shots below- the drivers side sunk & because it wasn't aired down we lost traction.
What seemed about 15 lbs of tire pressure later combined with man power-we got out lickettee split.
I thought this was a cool shot:
