My husband and I will be celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary this coming July. We live in the Bay Area, Ca.
Does anyone have any good suggestions or unique ideas for things we could do or places we could go? He's a Cali native; I've lived here for 3 1/2 years.
I don't want the usual "Go out to dinner" or "Go to the movies" or "Go out to a club". I am looking for something that is very memorable and special.
Answer
Costanoa cabins are pretty and romantic and just a short walk to the beach, with a spa and hiking and a great restaurant. And right near there is Pigeon Point Lighthouse and the sea lion beach (forgot the name). If you're active, there's a awesome place to backpack in Big Sur called Sykes Hot Springs. Camping at Lake Del Valle is always nice. They have everything there biking, hiking, sun. Hope I helped.

Good Backpacking in Big Sur?

I'm planning on going backpacking in the Big Sur area (I believe its part of Monterrey county).
Has anyone else been backpacking (overnight camping on trails) in the Big Sur area?
Can you recommend a certain State/National Park? We would prefer a place that is in the forest with all the dense trees (eg the redwoods).
Thank you.

Contact the National Forest Service Office at Big Sur. There is a trail head just past their parking lot that takes you into the Ventana Wilderness, a permit may be required. The first campsites are 4 miles in, then at 6 miles, 8 miles, and 12 miles. At 12 miles there is Sykes Hot Springs, a mild sulfur spring right alongside the Big Sur River, that provides a relaxing soak after the hike. The springs are about 1/4 mile downstream from where the trail crosses the river.
Went in there for the first time in 1972, many times since, was back a few years ago.
