San Francisco to Big Sur · Mid-April

The California Walk

A Pilgrimage. In our backyard.

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.

Not a retreat.
Not a race.
Not a guided tour.

A walk down the coast in good company. 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.

The walks so far

  • 2025. The first one. Six days. Vipul walked the whole trip; Ruben came for Big Sur. San Francisco to Fernwood.
  • 2026. The second one. Four days, solo. Henry Cowell, Marina Beach, Tan Bark.
  • 2027. Being planned. Five days in mid-April. If you're reading this and want to come, say so.

San Francisco. Santa Cruz. Monterey.
Carmel. Big Sur.

Come along

The invite has always been a phone call. If you already have my number, that's still the right way in.

If you don't, leave a note on the 2027 page and I'll call.
