Fun With Chris and Jane

Our various adventures on California trails (and elsewhere)

April 28, 2012 – Cayucos Point

April 28, 2012 – Cayucos Point

September 17, 2012 Chris Comments 0 Comment

Jane’s Aunt Bev met us for an easy walk along the bluffs north of Cayucos. Chris was hoping to duplicate the hike we did last November but mistook the trailhead and wound up parking about two miles short of where he intended. We ended up walking south from Hwy 1 at San Geronimo Road to the ocean, then west out to and past Cayucos Point, returning to the highway and following it east to the car. In contrast to our first visit here last November, the grass was green and fresh and the wildflowers were abundant and colorful. The trail along the bluffs undulates peacefully along the clifftops, elevation gains and losses barely perceptible as we made our way west. We again saw egrets, and Chris snapped a picture of one wading in a calm pool of ocean water below the bluff. After passing Cayucos Point, we continued west to the more jagged Point 2 (so labeled on the map), a prominent headland that juts southward into the ocean. We eventually reached the landmark hill where we had started our previous trip and decided it was time to turn around – we chose to walk a more direct route along the highway back to the van. The camera battery was dead so iPhone photos only.

Over the last few years, we have discovered - or really, re-discovered - our common love of hiking. Although we typically enjoy the proverbial mountaintop experience and the sense of accomplishment that comes with reaching some summit or another, we sometimes prefer easier trips that are less taxing. In any case, we hope the visitor appreciates not just the natural beauty of the California areas to which we have been, but in some small way participates with us in the experience as well. We spend several weekends in Pismo Beach each year, so much of our hiking takes place on the Central Coast. We also like camping in the Sierras, so we've done several trips along the Great Western Divide and the Kern Plateau. Additionally, we have done a group hike (known as Chris and Jane's Excellent Adventure) with family and friends each Labor Day since 2009 - these trips are included in their own page. Finally, we recently purchased a cabin in Wrightwood, so many of our latest hikes have been in the eastern San Gabriel mountains. Enjoy the site!
