A Path to Beauty: Local Photo of the Week
This stunning photo was taken by a Patch reader at a state park in Santa Cruz County.

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, CA — Too often the natural beauty of Santa Cruz County is overshadowed by our glorious beaches and perfect sunsets over the ocean. But Patch reader David Nixen has captured another vision of local beauty. He labeled this photo, "Blustery afternoon in Wilder Ranch."
