Our guide book mentioned hiking in the hills surrounding San Evaristo along with a lack of established trails. I took this as a fun challenge to bushwack up to the various peaks 750 feet above the bay.
Starting from the beach up the dirt road to the school where I veered off towards a promising looking gully that had hike-able looking rocks
About half way up I came across some burros.
It was fairly easy to forge a path but numerous times there were huge cactus fields to be navigated.

Nope, just bird poop.
Nice view of the salt flats
Here is the spot I chose to make my decent back down to the beach.
Here is the route of my morning hike.
