The hike will begin with a 1000 foot climb out of the valley, and continue along the ridge to a gorgeous long valley likely filled with spring wild flowers.  We will stop for lunch in the valley. After lunch we will continue hiking along the valley up to some great overlooks of the ocean.  We will then descend back into the valley and the parking lot.  I am leading this hike for both the Gay Outdoors and the Great Outdoors members.
