US West Prewitt Ridge and The Indians area of Big Sur

[PapaDave]

Welcome to the first trip for the Tri-Valley area meet up! This trip has limited space due to the camping area of Prewitt Ridge on Friday night. The views are stunning and dramatic sitting up 3000 feet above the Pacific Ocean. However these camping sites are scattered around with only a few locations that can hold multiple rigs. It is dispersed camping with a requirement to leave it better than we find it, including the requirement to pack out human waste.

Saturday night dispersed camping in The Indians area

Dates-
Depart 12pm January 31st
Return Feb 2nd

Looks like a great trip!! Unfortunately I’ll miss this one as I’m away for work. But looking forward to the next meet up on the 12th.

Prewitt ridge is one of my favorite places on the coast between SF and Santa Barbara, so I'm in! I'm not sure if it'll be me and the kid or me, kiddo and my partner (and her truck). I'm not familiar with the Indian hills area at all, so this should be fun...

Been itching to go to Big Sur for a while now. Thanks for setting it up!

Looks like fun! Hopefully the weather agrees with you-- small technicality, if you're planning on hitting the east side of big sur out by fort hunter ligget and old milpitas road, the area is known simply as "The Indians". Be sure to explore the wagonwheel caves area!

Sounds like fun! I put in an RSVP.

I can't wait for this trip! Such a beautiful place for some camping therapy.

I'm interested, but can the trail accommodate a 4WD with an offroad trailer (Conqueror 490)?

Nothing remotely technical up that way-- you'll be fine :)

Yup, you’ll be fine. I’m actually just coming back from prerunning the rest of the route and stopped in Morgan Hill for dinner.

We will hit some steep climbs and descents just past Mission San Antonio on a fun detour with a killer 360 degree view of the whole range. Camping Saturday will be easier with a trailer as our camping options are more spacious than Prewitt Ridge.

Hope to see you there next Sunday at the meet-up. I've got a couple friends also looking to come as well.

Ok we will talk about opening it up again

 

[PapaDave]

Just opened up some additional spots for the trip

I pre-ran the trail yesterday and for Saturday we will climb up to an astounding 360 view. First shot is the view and area around it
