Like good views, better tunes, and the best company? Enjoy a dip in a good forest creek? Like driving up the 1? Boy oh boy do we have the trip for you. Join us for some (light) backpacking in Big Sur. We will leave bright and early Saturday morning then drive up the 1 to take in some #views. We’ll be backpacking Upper Cruikshank Trail into a beautiful creekside campsite. The trail is only 2.5 miles, so it’s a perfect trip for beginner backpackers! On Sunday we’ll take in some sunrise views before hiking out and heading back to campus.
