Thanks for sharing all the pictures. That was a great capturing of the area. How busy is it? Last time I was there, every hotspring was packed with people. I want to get out there again after seeing these pictures.

Marc, cool photos. Didn't look to crowded either.

When I'm back to a real computer I'll post a few images from my weekend

Nice photos but didn't look like many level campgrounds (only backpacked the more southerly Arroyo Seco portion of the Ventana/Big Sur area).

I clicked on this hoping to see some pictures of naked hippies lounging in the springs…lol

Yes Chris – that was my experience the last time I was there on a weekend.

Nice shots! I love the lush green temperate rain forest look of Big Sur. Such a neat setting.

I haven't been to Sykes in probably 6 or 7 years. Beautiful spot, great hot springs, and well-maintained trail but the crowds can get ridiculous. And from all accounts I've read over the last few years, it's only got worse!

I wonder if mid-week off season trips are still empty (or close to it)?
