If you want this hike to be even more exciting next time, maybe a base jump to the parking lot from the top instead of hiking down would do the trick. Ok, we are only joking, don't try that!!!!!Glenn and Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753921250399375985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954169774784248994.post-90966175966220995282015-09-06T20:46:44.609-07:002015-09-06T20:46:44.609-07:00Very nice description, Richard.

A full loop of the trail system going east from your parking spot, through the Balcony Caves and around to the east side and the other caves before climbing up to the High Peaks and then back down to the car is a worthwhile trip: two sets of caves, a reservoir, and those high peaks! But you have to have a full day to do the ten or so miles. Enjoy yourself in CA.<br />Oh, and you didn't mention Mexican food; La Fuente Restaurant in Soledad is excellent.LindsayJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03284998275763188053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954169774784248994.post-65088786844007140632015-09-06T19:48:54.987-07:002015-09-06T19:48:54.987-07:00Too bad about the condors.

They stick together, so it's not unusual to miss them. There is another population in Big Sur.Al Washburnnoreply@blogger.com
