The Great Big Sur Getaway

22 November, 2024

The Great Big Sur Getaway

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 Big Sur’s Plaskett Creek and Kirk Creek campgrounds (2 of Alex’s favorite campgrounds!) starting Friday morning for some chill vibes, hikes, and tasty food. Saturday we will 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 (2.5 mile each way, 1300 ft elevation change), depending on vibes 🙂 On Sunday we’ll take in some sunrise views before hiking out and heading back to LA.
