Big Sur is the perfect weekend warrior escape. The hairpin turns over the ocean cliffs of Highway 1 gently remind you to slow down. The vortex of cellphone service encourages you to be present. Just look out at the endless sea, fading from bright turquoise to dark blue, while the waves wash away all of your work week stress. Once the morning fogs burns off, the suns transforms the cliffs into a golden landscape, and in that moment, you are finally able to let go.
