Sea Lion Caves

Meandering down the road we stopped at Sea Lion Cave.  This was probably the only ticket stops we made.  We checked in and then took an elevator down to the sea cave level.

Time of year was not on our side as most of the sea lions were not actually spending a whole lot of time in the cave.  There were a few sea lions lounging on the rocks and playing in the water, but most were outside.

However, the views were still spectacular.

We took the elevator back up and walked out to an observation deck.  Far below was the real show.  Having a good telephoto lens came in handy.

Even sea lions have to watch out for sneaker waves.

Have I mentioned the views?
