Gaviota Wind Caves & Panoramic View Freeway 101 & Pacific Ocean

Tentatively, I plan to do this hike with SLO Sierra Club, organized by a friend Andrea, going to Gaviota Wind Caves & Freeway 101 Overlook, etc.

I did this hike two months ago, and enjoyed the wind caves, boulder climbing, and freeway overlook, with panoramic views of the traffic 600’ below, and the Pacific Ocean.

Boulder climbing on this hike is optional. For anyone that is eager to learn, I may be able to help.
