They are no problem for riding because none exceeds 250 meters, and most days we didn't have more than two of these. Of course, the downside to untouched beauty is that there aren't any grocery stores to stock up on water or bananas either. The Big Sur coast is not completely devoid of human civilisation. The picture was taken in the town of Gorda. This picture was taken in the Julia Pfeiffer State Park, a beautiful park in the middle of a redwood forest.
Most campgrounds have hot showers and some sort of overpriced grocery store.
This place also had a fairly good restaurant. Campgrounds on the US Pacific coast are a big reason why riding here is so attractive. You sleep with nothing but nature around you, and a starry sky like us city-dwellers rarely get to see. They have a visitor center from which tourists are bussed to the actual castle. Well, he is dead and hordes of tourists now wear down his carpets.
