Casey and I wanted to take a special trip together to celebrate our 7 year anniversary, so we decided to go backpacking in Big Sur.<\/div>\n
\"_MG_7836\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We stopped to see the elephant seals.\u00a0A bunch of them were fighting in the ocean.<\/div>\n
\"_MG_7843\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Sleepy heads.<\/div>\n
\"P1010299\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We made it to the Silver Peak Wilderness! Our destination was Upper Cruickshank Trail, about 3 windy, uphill miles in.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"P1010303\"<\/a><\/div>\n
We were lucky to have some fog over our heads.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"P1010305\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Casey used this awesome redwood stick to hike with.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"P1010284\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We set up our camp in an open meadow, just past a redwood tree grove. We were hungry and this hit the spot!<\/div>\n
\"P1010288\"<\/a><\/div>\n
The most peaceful sunset.<\/div>\n
\"P1010297\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Good morning world.<\/div>\n
\"P1010293\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Someone had to get his knife in the picture \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
\"P1010307f\"<\/a><\/div>\n
One last look on the way down, then it was time to go sightseeing.<\/div>\n
\"cl\"<\/a><\/div>\n
We hit up a vista point and marveled at the rocky coastline.<\/div>\n
\"rw\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Then we headed to the Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park where we hiked around near some a creek surrounded by giant redwoods.<\/div>\n
\"wf\"<\/a><\/div>\n
The grand finale was McWay Falls, an 80-foot, year-round waterfall that empties directly into the ocean. It is surrounded by a secluded beach with the most amazing sparkling blue water.<\/div>\n
