Riding Pacific Coast Highway in May ‘26

Kirk Creek to McWay Falls—Big Sur’s Best Riding Dropped into Big Sur from Nacimiento-Fergusson Road and found everything we were looking for. Started at Kirk Creek Campground, threaded through some technical sections before hitting the coastal views that make this stretch mandatory on any serious rider’s list. Route breakdown: Kirk Creek → Limekiln Falls → Lucia → Big Creek Bridge (the real technical test) → McWay Falls viewpoint → Partington Cove. Every section has something—tight switchbacks, elevation changes that reward good throttle control, and views that justify every mile. Shot on Insta360 Ace Pro 2. Bitrate pushed for that crisp coastal light and the detail you need when you’re carving canyon roads. Gear: 2023 BMW R 1250 RCamera: Insta360 Ace Pro 2Route: CA-1 South from Kirk Creek
