Few places in the world match Big Sur for sheer scenic grandeur. Visitors flock here to relax in its redwoods, gaze at its spectacular coastline, or seek out the spiritual aura that has long lured
...We’ll meet up to consolidate our carpool in Camarillo (Pleasant Valley Road x US101) at 7:00am (SHARP!) on the morning of Saturday, May 26 in preparation for our long (4-hour) drive to the trailhead. L.A.-based hikers should plan on leaving L.A. no later than 6:00am.
Trip Report/Photos
Memorial Day offers lots of opportunities for outdoor recreation, but nothing compares with celebrating one last hurrah of spring before summer's heat begins. Big Sur offered such a celebration. Wildflowers that had disappeared from southern California a month ago were still blooming there. Unfortunately, we had to endure the damage from the devastating fire of 2008, which is still sending lots of deadfall trees across trails, making navigation a real challenge. But we persevered, savoring spectacular coast views and solitary campsites.
