Addie, Isa, and Kylie are gonna show you around California’s best marine habitat for, not one, but, TWO fantabulous days! We’re hitting the road at 7am on Saturday and starting off our trip with the iconic Point Lobos Loop (6.3 mi) followed by the classic SCO lunch (iykyk). Then, we’ll head to the beach where we’ll frolic around till sunset and take lots of aesthetic photos. Then, we’ll go back to our campsite and eat a delectable dinner around the campfire (and maybe a s’more moment) where we’ll dig deep to find out who you truly are. Bring your (relatively small) instruments and jam out with us under the stars till bed.
DAY 2 WOOOOO!!! We’ll wake up with plenty of time for a delicious breakfast, coffee, and a trip to the camp store before we set out for hike #2! We’re headed to Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park to do a 3 mile loop around Big Sur River in Los Padres National Forest. After the hike, we’ll chef up some lunch and hit the road to get you back home before dinner! You ready for this big awesome trip? Yesssssssirrrrrrrr!!
