Frisco Vista

Just down the road from the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve in Cambria on the central California coast is a small country park called Lampton Cliffs.

The park features a wooden stairway providing convenient access to a sheltered, rocky inlet.

Near the park is an open area that is marked as an ecological study zone. This is fenced and closed to the public.

I don’t know what kind of ecological study the University of California is doing here, but the ecology of the nature reserve seems imperfectly balanced — there were at least a couple dozen deer lounging in the meadow.
