Big Sur Stargazin, Food Makin, Class Escapin

Like epic sunsets, stargazing, and waking up overlooking the Pacific Ocean? Have class on Friday? You don’t any more! We are SENDING up to Kirk Creek campground (Alex’s favorite campground!) starting Thursday afternoon for some chill vibes, hikes, and tasty food. Friday we will do a moderate 7-mile day hike (1200 ft elevation change), Saturday mosey around some bluffs, and spend a night learning to photograph the milky way on one of the best days of the year to capture it! Saturday might include a short hike-in (2.5 mile each way, 1300 ft elevation change) backpacking trip, depending on vibes 🙂 On Sunday we’ll take in some sunrise views before hiking out and heading back to campus.
