The only difficulty here is obtaining reservations- be patient and vigilant. A couple of folks wandered into our site looking for a different view of Mc Way falls, but we were otherwise alone. In the event you are unable to reserve, check nearby parks. The view is stunning, the sounds are stunning, the smells are stunning, and the poison oak and crowds are somewhat easily avoided. Also recommended advance reservations at Esalen hot springs, and a night at Deetjens Big Sur Inn.
