Big Sur to Big Basin

Exploring the nine different communities that radiate north and south from the Monterey Bay, Big Sur to Big Basin presents an insider's view of the history and present-day charms of sights once known as the Sardine Capital of the World, and Butterfly Town, USA, as well as many unforgettable places in between. Photographer Larry Ulrich's lush images invite you to discover the hidden canyons once wandered by John Steinbeck, the emerald lawns of Pebble Beach, and the power and serenity of majestic redwood forests. Writer Pamela Verduin Cain tells a tale of a pirate attack on Monterey, takes us on a tour through the West Coast's oldest continuously operating lighthouse, and visits the gorgeous private estates of celebrated Carmel residents.
