Big Sur, CA by Felix Wong | 20 Jul 2002Posted photos from backpacking in Big Sur with Sarah, including stopping by the Sykes Hot Springs. Sarah at the start of the Pine Ridge Trail on our 26-mile round-trip journey to the Sykes Hot Springs and beyond.The day begins misty but beautiful among the glorious redwood trees.Felix Wong during a short photo break.Sarah coming down the trail at approximately Mile 6.Sarah on a fallen tree overlooking a creek.Nice views of distant peaks abound.Just past these artfully-placed rocks are the hot springs...After soaking in the hot springs for a few hours, we head on out to Redwood Camp passing scenery much different from the redwoods.Preparing food & camp. It was so nice outside we didn't even set up our tent and just slept on a groundcloth.Felix Wong and Sarah early in the second day.Sarah taking an impromptu dip in the creek.At the end: we run into the three jovial guys we kept seeing who had gone to the hot springs with 30 pounds of food in their packs!
