Valley
A valley is an elongated low area often running between hills or mountains and typically containing a river or stream running from one end to the other. Most valleys are formed by erosion of the land surface by rivers or streams over a very long period. Some valleys are formed through erosion by glacial ice. These glaciers may remain present in valleys in high mountains or polar areas. At lower latitudes and altitudes, these glacially formed valleys may have been created or enlarged during ice ages but now are ice-free and occupied by streams or rivers. In desert areas, valleys may be entirely dry or carry a watercourse only rarely. In areas of limestone bedrock, dry valleys may also result from drainage now taking place underground rather than at the surface. Rift valleys arise principally from earth movements, rather than erosion. Many different types of valleys are described by geographers, using terms that may be global in use or else applied only locally ...

Adjacent to La Cumbre is Arlington Peak () and Cathedral Peak (). Other peaks within the Santa Ynez Range include Santa Ynez Peak, to the west, and Divide Peak, to the east. East Camino Cielo (originally known as ''Ridge Route'') was constructed between October 1930 and June 1931 as a single lane road that extended from San Marcos Pass to the summit of La Cumbre Peak. The intermittently curvaceous road was opened to the public, built with frequent turnouts and a set maximum speed limit of per hour. Today the road is frequently used by runners and cyclists for training, as the elevation gain is substantial and sustained, while there is relatively little car traffic.
