Woolly Wanderings in Big Sur, California
Looking for a magical place to wander and
explore? Look no further than Big Sur,
California. We had the opportunity to camp and
explore Big Sur during the summertime months and
it's an experience that we will never forget. The
drive through Big Sur on Pacific Coast Highway is
breathtaking. Whichever way you are headed, the
entrance into the area of Big Sur will be sure to
take your breath away. We started our journey
from Northern California, stopping in San
Francisco and Santa Cruz along the way. Pacific
Coast Highway is a beautiful scene and every
direction you look reflects stunning ocean views.
After grabbing a bite to eat in Santa Cruz at our
favorite falafel place, we continued the journey
through Monterey and Carmel. There's no rush to
get to Big Sur, since all the coast towns leading
up to it are little gems of their own. Of course,
we had to stop to take the classic Big Sur
photograph. It truly is amazing to see in person.
As we continued our journey, we stopped for an
early dinner at a little hippy place that served
amazing sandwiches. Without much of a plan, we
set off into the woods and drove quite a distance
to the top before finally landing at Prewitt
Ridge. If you decide to go, be sure that your car
has all-wheel drive. This is a very desolated
area but the views are worth it. You literally
overlook the ocean and camp above the clouds.
Prewitt Ridge is one of the most stunning places
we have ever set up camp. No running water, no
bathroom facilities. Pure nature in its
beauty. Some tips to keep in mind if camping
around Big Sur... Campsites fill up quickly,
which is why we opted for backcountry camping in
Prewitt Ridge. Be sure to plan if you are looking
for a campsite that has bathroom facilities,
running water, etc. Pack water. This is one thing
we wish we had packed more of. The temperature
was very dry and dusty. Although we had enough to
get by, we could have used more if we opted to
stay another night. What to pack? Plan on packing
all the essentials for this trip. It's remote.
Since you're camping above the clouds, the
weather can change almost immediately. Start with
a sleeping bag, sleeping pad, lantern, whistle,
grill, water, chairs, sunscreen, thick wool
blanket extra gasoline for your car, and plenty
of food. Are you planning an upcoming trip to Big
