Formerly known as Spreckels Quarry this area is very popular with rock climbers. Even if you're not a climber it's still a beautiful area and worth a visit to see the sheer cliff faces.

The air coming from this cave is about 55 degrees - on a warm day, standing in front of the gates for awhile is a perfect way to cool down.
