Day 4: Big Sur
Campsite 4: Pfeiffer Big Sur SP Campground
On the western slope of the Santa Lucia Mountains, the peaks of Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park tower high above the Big Sur River Gorge. This is a place where the land, the sea, and forests of giant redwoods adjoin in a rugged landscape jigsaw puzzle.In winter, temperatures range from the 20s to the 50s. Summer mornings bring fog, which usually burns off by midday.
Day 5: San Francisco
Campsite 13: Half Moon Bay SB Campground
Four miles of broad, sandy beaches stretch out to welcome visitors to Half Moon Bay. This picturesque setting is ideal for sunbathing, fishing and picnicking. The Francis Beach campground has 52 family sites, some suitable for tent camping, others for trailers or recreational vehicles.
Day 6: Redwood Country
Campsite 14: Manchester SP Campground
Manchester State Park features a beach, sand dunes, and flat grasslands, with nearly 18,000 feet of ocean frontage. The beach line curves gently to form a "catch basin" for sea debris, which accounts for the volume of driftwood found here. Five miles of gentle, sandy beach stretches southward towards the Point Arena Lighthouse. One of the main attractions is the excellent steelhead fishing in the park’s two streams, Brush Creek and Alder Creek.
Day 7: California - Oregon Border
Campsite 17: Jedediah Smith Redwoods SP Campground
Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park is the last in a long string of redwood parks that stretch up Northern California's coast. A few miles inland from the ocean, the park is densely forested with huge ancient trees. In fact, it contains seven percent of all the old-growth redwoods left in the world. No roads or trails mark "Jed Smith's" core--just pure, primeval majesty.
