Canyonfire: Pinnacles-Big Sur

On Memorial Day weekend 2003 I drove south from Oakland to Pinnacles National Monument southeast of Salinas. I hiked up to the High Peaks Loop, then continued south and east, finally sleeping on a beach north of Morro Bay. The next day, after breakfast in San Luis Obispo, I set off north on fabled California Highway 1, touring Hearst Castle at San Simeon and traversing Big Sur to Carmel. Over the two days, I was able to visit and photograph three Spanish missions and drink in a whole lot of spectacular scenery. Glad you could come along for the ride....(by the way, several of the thumbnails below lead to multiple photos, not just the one pictured).
