For those of you who's wife's aren't in to the "overlanding" life. This place is a great place to stop buy & check out. Lucky for me my wife was stoked about doing a simple day trip & getn dirty!
We started off at a great place to eat called River Inn, if you go be sure u ask to be seated on the patio out back...cool spot and chill. River flowing as you eat.
Anyways, my opinion would be to go down hwy 1 and start across from the Andrew Molera state park, you could start at the Bixby Bridge but we seen rental cars going down that way so figured it wasn't too much of a challenge. Enter at the dirt parking lot across the road onto "Old coast rd" We went for about 2 minutes and I decided that this would be a good time to air down just a little... washboard trail not too bad. Went to around 20ish psi. As we went up the trail there were some others coming down, so just be aware it's a 2 way trail. The view on this road is spectacular, you get the ocean, hills, redwoods just amazing. There were a couple off slightly steep switchbacks which made starting at the south end kinda fun.
For those of you who do not have a 4wd or large tires, no worrys.. This trail is do able think it took like 2hrs or so, I was realy suprised to see tourists in rental cars going down. Crazy in my opinion but they made it.
