Garrapata State Park

Taken during my all too short of a visit to Big Sur. I can certainly understand why people get inspired by this beautiful coastline. I wanted to get down to the shore and take some closer angle shots next to the rocks, but being that this was the first visit and I was running out of light and time I didn't want to risk getting stuck. Technically I think you can climb in and out of this area by hand but there are some other spots that require ropes and ladders for access. I did meet some locals further south that were fishing off of this insanely vertical trail off the cliff, and one of those guys had to be about 60 years old... put me to shame!

 

I got this information from one of my contacts Leon aka leapin26 about Arnold proposing to close down virtually all of the parks to save money,here's the list:

If you have the time please sign the petition to prevent closure, thanks
