Big Sur

My partner, some of her friends, and I went to Big Sur over a weekend in April. It was my first time outside the Bay Area and was very nice. We hiked Bluffs and Panorama Trail via Creamery Meadow, which was a cute little 12k trail along the coast. The last time I was near the ocean was Hawaii; mixing tall-ish hills with ocean cliffs was definitely a change of scenery from the snowy mountains I’d been hiking the last couple months. We also did the first few km of the Vicente Flat Trail starting outside Kirk Creek Campground, but turned around to get a campsite when they opened. I burned more than a little bit, igniting my quest for long-sleeve clothing and super fashionable wide-brim hats.
