  1. The Santa Cruz Mountains are just exploding with California tortoiseshell butterflies right now. The reason is that their favorite plant, ceanothus (aka California lilac) is also exploding since the huge fire of five years ago. Today at Big Basin park there were thousands of them everywhere. This one landed on a book at the visitor center where I was working. #butterfly #BigBasin #SantaCruzMountains

  2. Imported photos from my M240 from the last couple months and found some photos of the foggy Santa Cruz Mountains from December.

  3. An early morning view from the Santa Cruz Mountains somewhere near the approach to Big Basin. Seeing the light breaking through the mists, I had to pull over for a few minutes. The vistas here were unforgettable. ⛅📷

  4. #MountUmunhum ( #UHmənum) is a peak in the #SantaCruzMountains, located in #SantaClaraCounty, #California. It is the fourth-highest peak in the Santa Cruz Mountains, after #LomaPrieta, #CrystalPeak, and #MountChual. Most of the mountain is located within the #SierraAzulOpenSpacePreserve.

  5. Hwy 17 summit in #SantaCruzMountains is reliably some of the most gorgeous weather. This weekend I crested it to find brilliant god rays through forest fog. There should be a vista point just for watching the highway

  6. #ClimateDiary -
    By the way that before/after #Redwood fire recovery image from Big Basin is from a publicly accessible web cam at phenocam.nau.edu/webcam/sites/

  7. Dear Friends,
    #ClimateDiary #California #SantaCruzMountains

    Three years after a big #WildFire that burnt 97% of Big Basin State Park, #OldGrowth #redwood trees are coming back!
    Other discussion includes the fire's impacts on #mammals, #fish, #frogs, #birds as well as #MicroClimate changes from additional sunlight. Recommendations are offered.
    Summary here: eastbaytimes.com/2023/11/20/bi and the SCMBC website with links to symposium videos here: scmbc.org/

  9. View from the winding back road we use to get to Pema Osel Ling retreat center from points north. #Vista #SantaCruzMountains

    Maybe the wild winter is truly over? First summary day of the year.

  11. Pacific hybrid irises in my native garden. These are a hybrid of the Douglas and Fernald's iris, presumably, that are blooming up in the hills right now.

    Not sure what changes come from the hybridization. The blooms look really similar.

  12. RT @imnothere2: Skyline Blvd, top of the ridge in Los Gatos. Yet another crazy unseasonal #snowday #CAwx #SantaCruzMountains #CastleRock t.co/ObiCM5fJIZ

  13. @ai6yr the #SantaCruzMountains have gotten positively hammered this winter. Hoping it chills out soon.

  14. The #BayArea is a complete train wreck, especially the South Bay and #SantaCruzMountains. Power is out again, who knows for how long, this is the current outage map.

  15. Take a look at the conditions on #Hwy17 in the #SantaCruzMountains as of 7:30 am. Please use caution while on the roads or avoid travel today if possible.

  16. Caltrans crews are clearing snow from lanes and responding to multiple downed trees on Highway 17 this morning in the Santa Cruz Mountains. No estimated time for reopening. #hwy17 #SantaCruzMountains

  17. Oh, the weather outside is frightful 🎶🎶

    Let it snow! ❄️❄️❄️

    Truly a very weird winter here in the #SF #BayArea 🤣

    Temps of 67-70°F this weekend ☀️ have been replaced by insane wind storm 💨 and now snow.

    Heavy rain ⛈️ incoming tonight and continuing to March 1st. 😳

  18. @jeridansky at least my family should be able to make it home tonight, nothing is fixed yet but the roads have been upgraded to barely passable. #SantaCruzMountains

  19. From County of Santa Cruz:

    For public safety reasons, Bear Creek Road has been closed between Greenview Road and Wheeler Road. A slipout has worsened, making the road impassible.

    We are closely monitoring the situation and will work toward restoring access as quickly as possible. In the meantime, we are working on potential workarounds to continue delivering any needed emergency services to residents.

    Please respect the barriers. They are there for a reason. #SantaCruzMountains #cawx
