Part 2 of our road trip around central California! Replace the snow with the sea and keep the colorful and dramatic feel and you got Big Sur! Hard to resist to the charm & natural beauty of the area ...Pacific Ocean on one side and Santa Lucia Mountains rising on the other...add to this a twisting highway 1 and cone peaks and it makes the sceneries absolutely fantastic!
Spent two days in the area before driving back to San Francisco and in a few words
here are the highlights of our trip to Big Sur (pictures always speak best when it comes to sceneries!)
-
admiring the sceneries ...ok, not very original but while driving on what has been quoted as the 2nd most scenic road in US, cant help but stopping frequently to fully enjoy it!
- camping along the Big Sur river...nice
campfire (love those), the
sound of the river & great wine (ehehe...Laetitia one ;-) )
- the smell of the
redwood forest as you wake up in the morning
- looking up for groups of
condors flying right above...those are big ones!
- sea side rock climbing (ok...slightly scared but made it
alive thanks to Stephen advices!)
- observing huge group of
elephant seals in their natural environment
- watching
magical sunset on a typical pacific ocean beach, from pink to orange...
- admiring the Mc Way creek and its
80 foots waterfall that drops on the ocean beach Picture time!
