'Mountain of gold' spring bluffs, Spooner's Cove, and the Valencia Peak summit
More
Spooner's Cove ranch buildings, the Bluff Trail's marine terraces, and Valencia Peak's 1,347-foot ocean summit pack the coast's best free day. Spring mustard and poppies gave it the 'mountain of gold' name; the tidepools at Corallina Cove are among the state's richest — look, don't touch.
