Description:
|
Daily, 9-5. This is one of the most beautiful AVA year-round events in the United States. The trail goes around the perimeter of Point Lobos Reserve, with breathtaking vistas of the Big Sur coastline, rocky seaside, and Carmel Bay. You might be lucky enough to see sea otters frolicking in the surf, or gray whales spouting on their trip along the coast. There are also a lot of non-aquatic wildlife in the reserve. The trail is very rough with roots, dirt paths, rocks and pot holes abounding, BUT if you can navigate a challenging trail this is a MUST DO EVENT. It has been rated in the top 10 events of AVA and deservedly so.
