The California Walk

A walk down the California coast in mid-April. Five days or so. San Francisco to Big Sur, by way of Santa Cruz, Monterey, and Carmel Valley.

This is a personal trip that I invite people to. It started in 2025. The 2026 walk happened. The 2027 walk is being planned.

The inspirations: the Camino. David Whyte's walking tours. Derek Sivers's walk-and-talks. Being alive, in nature, with good company.

A walk down the coast. In good company. Nature. Conversation. Insight.

Redwood groves, a river crossing, hours of open sand, one real climb, big meals at night. Whatever you bring, the trail has room for it.
