SF to Big Sur and Santa Cruz - Day Two |

We hiked to the McWay Creek Falls overlook, rode North to Santa Cruz, spent the day on the beach and enjoyed an outdoor production of Taming of the Shrew at UCSC. The next morning we rode up Highway 9 to Big Basin Redwoods State Park and home. |

On Hwy 9, the small pre-WWI town of Felton is home to the oldest covered Bridge in California. Recently restored, it transports you to an earlier era. |
