Calla Lillies at Garrapata State park
Three weeks ago we drove an hour and a half all the way to Garrapata State park area. The main goal was to go to Doud peak, which will be the subject of a separate post. We also wanted to leave early enough and take pictures among the white lillies that grow on either side of the creek as it goes into the ocean.
It is a local seasonal favorite, but we have never made it before. We saw posts on the net that said the lillies are already starting to turn brown, so before the window closed we visited.
We were not disappointed..
it was a misty walk to the beach among the lillies..
The new iPhone was put to test and it passed with flying colors..
especially the macro mode..
Nice beach. There were a lot of kids making their way to the beach as we were walking back. Given it is just a short walk from the freeway, this place would probably be crowded once the sun is out. It was good we finished this first!
had the beach mostly to ourselves..
We climbed up to the top and got a beautiful view of the coastline. Then we drove a few miles to go on our planned hike..
Strongly recommend this place, for a mid March or even early March trip. It is a beautiful sight!
