Very large and very pretty outcropping of the California State Rock, serpentinite: bright green. Don't stop on the road -- dangerous curves, right there, and steep -- but there is a turnout just west where the car may be parked, with a short & easy walk back up the hill. Pretty rocks, also great views out over the Pacific and up & down the California coast.
