Big Sur Retreat

The region known as Big Sur is like Yosemite's younger cousin, with all the redwood scaling, rock climbing, and, best of all, hiking that the larger park has to offer. Robison Jeffers's once said, "Big Sur is the greatest meeting of land and sea in the world," but the highlights are only accessible on foot.
