As we continued to work our way up the coast, we left our campsite near Cambria onward to Big Sur and were delighted to see this small colony of elephant seals just off of the Pacific Coast Highway!
We could smell them before we could see them - they are a stinky bunch!
Most of them were just beached out like this - there were a few we saw coming in from the water, or fighting with each other, or pup looking for mama, but most were just chillin' in the sun as you see here.
It was a great sight to see before we got to the really curvy, hair-pin turns that the highway is known for - with great vistas, of course!
This was the view to the west - the Pacific Ocean.
And this was the view to the east - immediate, tall, rocky mountains.
And this was the view from the backseat:
We spent two nights at Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park before heading up toward the San Francisco Bay area.
Adventures along the way: the Monterey Bay Aquarium!
