BE CAREFUL. There is little to no cell coverage for the majority of the coast even on the highway let alone the trails. if you get lost or stranded. have a sat phone and let someone know where you went. Unfortunately, we have a lot of people here who fight against cell towers. Also, be a safe driver. DO NOT tailgate. It's a dangerous road, don't pressure drivers ahead of you even if the signs request slower vehicles pull over to let people pass, it's not a good excuse to endanger them and yourself. I've lived in the monterey area almost my entire life and ill never get tired of big sur.

All of us can make a positive difference to protect and nurture Big Sur. Help us by taking and activating the Big Sur Pledge. The Pledge #1 Share our coastal roads in a safe manner. #2 Be mindful of the impact of my actions. #3 Protect and respect Big Sur’s natural resources, public and private property, residents, employees, and visitors. #4 Leave no trace and not damage or take what is not mine. #5 Camp only where allowed. #6 Be vigilant and fire safe. #7 Be a steward of this precious resource for the enjoyment of all. #8 Honor the spirit of Big Sur as it honors me.

I lived and worked at Nepenthe from 1984 to 1987. I was recovering from a motorcycle accident in Palm Springs and some old friends helped me get well Physically and Mentally. Anyone that goes into this area should and could spend at the very least two weeks here. Get a good tent, stock up on food and beverages and cots and sleeping bags and “car camp” up and down the coast. If your into motorcycles I would get a small group together and take turns exploring in and around a main base camps. Two days here three days there ? Start in the south and make plans using this video as a guide. Have a wonderful time.

Some additional things to see, Old Country road going South to North comes out at Bixby Bridge. It’s a 12 mile dirt road that’s a bit rough in places. It’s breathtakingly beautiful in spots. The Big Sur Campgrounds & Cabins , and the camping area Riverside next door are simply sublime. Both have an abundance of Massive trees, the river, foliage everywhere, & cute cabins and campsites. It’s a true haven of tranquility among the massive trees. Rocky Creek is an excellent restaurant as well with fabulous views. Point Lobos on North end of Big Sur has Otters and whales that travel through. It also has tide pools and beautiful scenery. I’ve seen deer there right next to the ocean.

Gorge running was popular back in 1985, start at the waterfall and run the canyon until you get to where the trail crosses the creek. Also their was a restaurant along the road and creek that had great bands back then play there. They also had cement chairs in the river. Back then just about everywhere below the road was clothing optional to include the Gorge. Then there was the hot springs the one you pay for and the ones hidden, I wont say more. Lastly the hidden shower along the side of the road, just below. There was a spring here when the road was built so they just ran the spring out a culvert under the road. Someone made a trail down just below the culvert and decorated it with a bench, flowers, and a small precipice to stand and shower naked looking out at the Pacific back in 1985.

If it wasn’t taken out by the last fire, there’s no more stunning a place to camp than Kirk Creek Campground. With steep ridges jutting up a couple of thousand feet looking south and a spectacular arcing view of the coastline looking north, it’s hard to conceive of a more beautiful and inspiring place. And at night you can see the lights from the tiny hotel along the cliffs at Lucia. Back in the ‘80s Esalen would open up their hot tubs to anyone between 1 and 5 AM. The mineral water makes you more buoyant. I remember resting my neck on the stone edge, anchored by it as I floated, with my body rising and sinking with every breath as I viewed the stars above and dipped in and out of conversation with my friends.

I LOVE BIG SUR!!! When I lived in Silicon Valley, I used to cruise it all the time. I went with Stanford Outing Club to Sykes Hot Springs, which is a 12 mile hike into the mountains. I also would go to Eselen Hot Springs from 1am - 5am; in the 80s, it only cost $5. You sat in a rock tub overlooking the ocean while looking at shooting stars. I have pictures of it with snow in the mountains, and I understand you can see the sun set below Bixby Bridge if you stand in the right spot. I have eaten at Nepenthe's. I read an article that a woman danced with a man in a mysterious black cape on the deck by firelight. I'm still hoping to do that someday - or maybe I could be a mysterious woman in a black cape dancing with a young hottie... P.S. I understand Nepenthe's was Rita Hayworth's honeymoon suite!

I, too, prefer driving PCH north-to-south thru Big Sur because it’s closer to the edge of the road. However, either direction is great as long as the sun is behind you; driving those winding roads with sun glare in your face, especially when your windshield is caked with salt spray, is not only fatiguing, but dangerous. To enjoy one of the best drives of your life, clean your windows; keep the sun at your back, and don’t drive it at night. Of course, if it’s not sunny, it doesn’t matter. Bon voyage!

Hearst is fab but really pretty south of Big Sur-sort of surprised he even mentioned San Simeon as a reference in this vid- ( I would have included Hearst more in a coverage of Morro Bay, Pismo Beach, & vicinity) but I def would have included a stop at the River Inn in Big Sur ( for eats & the unique river ambience) & Post Ranch Inn ( just an awesome hidden Gem & the best place to stay for many miles imho- ( many know Ventana- but across the street ( aka Hwy1) more tucked away and later developed is Post Ranch) IF you can get a reservation for overnite - oh La la! & it doesn’t come cheap- love the Tree house suites or Beach House ( even harder to find availability tho) - but appetizers on the patio of the Sierra Mar restaurant won’t break the bank- & u can (or could) hike their beautiful property- but u cannot drive on much of it- thankfully- maybe even a stop at The Coast Galleries on Hwy 1 - and closer in to Carmel a stop at Point Lobos state park….just my 2 cents. Carmel Down Hwy1 to Big Sur was definitely a fav Sunday drive for decades back in the day….

For those of you interested, the films THE SANDPIPER (1965) with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton and ZANDY’S BRIDE (1974) with Liv Ullmann and Gene Hackman shot virtually all exterior shots in the Big Sur area. A bit further down the coast at Los Osos, Walt Disney Productions shot PETE’S DRAGON with Helen Reddy and Mickey Rooney. Unfortunately that magnificent lighthouse set was torn down when the film was completed. It was a practical set and not a front, so it could have been left standing. But it was removed for environmental reasons when the film completed in 1976.

Taking the drive south on Hwy 1 to Half moon Bay ( Ano Nuevo state park & many great stops on the way to Santa Cruz -or north of San Fran on Hwy 1- Best oysters ever in Oyster Bay- don’t know if that’s still the case tho’. But a drive on Hwy 1 in either direction was always enjoyable to me- “the Old coast Hwy” part too -is narrow & curvy drive- but used to be some great scenery and quaint pub stops & such - but check recent maps- it’s been some years since I traveled those areas & even then it seemed to be a protected secret drive & The old coast highway south of San Fran was something I was not introduced to early on- a Santa Cruz native eventually took me for a drive along the forested old road it’s the sort of place where u almost expect to see Argo Guthrie walk out ( if he was still alive of course ;)) different sort of views from the cliffs & ocean views of the current Hwy 1 drive. Arriving in Santa Cruz- the list is long of places to see & things to do Santa Cruz & Capitola & south to Moss Landing (good food & antique shops!) - home for MBARI- then further south to Monterey- u almost can’t go wrong- just don’t rush the journey, and enjoy! (You can get from San Fran to Monterey in about 2 hours if u want- but I could just as easily make a 3 -4 day trek out of the distance between the 2, & enjoy some of the sights & stops in between.) so that’s some ideas in a nutshell.

Great video! You'd love My Desert Island in Arcadia National Park, the hikes and lunch/dinner at the Jordan Pond House in Maine.

Willow Creek and Sand Dollar Beach, good surf, nice beaches, more so on low tide now a-days as Sand Dollar has lost some of the sand
