Big Sur Hiking

We went down to Big Sur today to hike up to Buzzards Roost Viewpoint. On the way we encountered some gorgeous fog along Highway One.

We hiked up from the state park to Buzzards Roost Viewpoint. The views of the ocean and Big Sur are amazing from up here!

After coming back down from Buzzards Roost, we crossed the river and hiked over to the old homestead cabin.

It’s always so much fun hiking in the redwoods!

We went down to Big Sur to check out the sights and do a little hiking. The Bixby Creek Bridge is always a favorite.
Wild, rugged coastline.
The Point Sur Lighthouse.
The support buildings on the big loaf of a rock that the Point Sur Lighthouse is built upon.

When the sea comes up a bit more, the lighthouse rock will become an island.

Hiking through the forest.

Looking up at the redwoods. I wonder how big the trees were before they were all logged.
The clear, cold water looks very inviting.
There was a whole flock of wild turkeys in the woods that kept gobbling at us.
Hiking through one of the meadows.
In a grove of big trees.
The understory is really lush because of all of the rain we’ve had this year.

There’s that inviting water again.

I’m pretty sure some of those big boulders are jade.
