South of Carmel along the Pacific Coast highway, rugged canyons extend inland towards the Ventana wilderness. Slopes along the seasonal stream reflect their aspect - spiky prickly pear cactus admires the southern sun; chapparal and coyote bush enjoy north-facing shade. The trail winds upwards, with ever-changing views back to the ocean and up to the untamed widerness beyond.
