Photo Trip Report of the Big Sur Trail Loop

Hi Jim,

I look forward to your trip photos every year after finding your website years ago doing Ventana research, thanks for sharing.

Three weeks ago I did the Big Sur Trail Loop. I went up the Boronda Trail and then did a big loop on the North Coast Ridge Road (NCCR), Big Sur Trail, Pine Ridge Trail, Terrace Creek Trail, and NCCR again. I wrote up some of my experiences in the Trail Reports forum. That led to an e-mail discussion with Jack Glendening of Big SurTrailmap fame. Along the way, I noted to him I had a photo gallery of the trip on my website, with photos captioned to provide a story line. Jack rather liked it: "Really enjoyed the album, made me feel a bit like I'd been alongside." And he suggested I share that here. So, if you are so inclined, take a look at https://jtringl.smugmug.com/Browser/2022/Ventana-Big-Sur-Trail-Loop-MarchApril-2022/.

I've posted many such trip report photo galleries over the years. For links to others in the Santa Lucia's (and elsewhere in the California Coast Range) see https://jtringl.smugmug.com/Browser/California-Coast-Ranges.
