oil on canvas 27 x 42 inches
It's a busy day at the visitors center for the Sea Lion Caves, America's largest sea cave. Since the opening of coast highway 101 in the 1930s the Sea Lion Caves has been a popular tourist attraction. The cave, which has an interior as long as a football field, is the year around home for hundreds of stellar sea lions. A trail cut into the face of the cliff and 250 stair steps take visitors from the parking lot 300 feet above sea level to the interior of the cave.
