California Coast Trek in Big Sur

 

Our three day endeavor in Big Sur began with our leaving Monterey.  On our trip to Pfeiffer State Park we witnessed Bixby Bridge, beautiful shear cliffs, and possibly a black bear.  Our arrival at the first campsite to allow fires necessitated the making of a bonfire and the roasting of marshmallows.  The next day turned out to be a slow, but an enjoyable one.  For the first time since starting the trip, we were able to sleep in.  The day was spent mostly on a nearby beach where we climbed on the rocky cove, played with seaweed, and had the first annual Teen Treks Olympics.  We left the beach and finished our day with a ride through the park and another bonfire.  Our time had come to migrate to the town of Lucia, further south in Big Sur.  On the way there we found a multitude of animals including condors, seals, sea otters, whales and a dead snake on the side of the road.  Beautiful shear cliffs, beaches, and valleys were also discovered on our journey.  The day ended with a wonderful campsite with an ocean view. -- Trekker Dan
