Big Sur (day 1, part 2)

After the morning hikes, we stopped back down in the lodge to figure out which one we wanted to do next, knowing that Buzzards Roost was probably next step on the list. It was definitely challenging (more so than the first two of the day) and we took the steeper / harder approach.

Despite the challenge, it was a great hike and well worth the little bit of the workout we had to put in. They certainly wasn’t as challenging as some of them cover hikes we’ve done in the past. But we were both sweating and panting and breathing heavily by the end of it!
