Ke manaʻo ʻoe iā Kaleponi, lele paha kou manaʻo i nā hubs o Los Angeles a i ʻole Kapalakiko, a i ʻole nā ​​vibe kahakai o San Diego. Akā, aia ma waena o nā kūlanakauhale kaʻa nui ma ke Kaiwaenahonua o ka mokuʻāina, e ʻike ʻoe i kahi mea huna: Monterey County.

Aia ma kahi o 100 mau mile ma ka hema o Kapalakiko, ʻo Monterey County kahi ʻāpana nani o ka Pākīpika e hoʻopuni ana i 12 mau kūlanakauhale like ʻole, me nā kaiāulu kaulana loa o Monterey, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Pebble Beach, a me Big Sur. Aia nō ma kahi o 100 mau mile o ke kahakai maʻemaʻe, ʻoi aku ma mua o 175 mau māla waina, a me kahi paka aupuni kupaianaha. (Pono ʻoe e hoʻāʻo e kipa i kēia mau paka ʻāina he 10 ma mua o kou make ʻana.)

ʻOiaʻiʻo leʻaleʻa: Ua lawelawe ke kalana ma ke ʻano he kumu lōʻihi o ka hoʻoulu manaʻo moʻokalaleo. (Hoʻonohonoho ʻia ka hapa nui o nā puke moʻolelo a John Steinbeck ma ia wahi, a ʻo ia pū kekahi Lani Cannery, ka mea i kapa ʻia kona inoa mai ka uapo o ka lawaiʻa mōʻaukala o ka Monterey Harbor. ʻO Lies liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi, (ma muli o kahi puke o ke poʻo inoa like na Liane Moriarty) me Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, a me Shailene Woodley. (Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i hoʻokau i kēia manawa, e kiʻi i ka ʻāpana 1 i kēia manawa.)

Akā mai kuhi hewa iā Monterey ma ke ʻano he kauhale lawaiʻa hiamoe wale (a i ʻole he kauhale kamaʻilio wale). Me ka nui o nā mea kupanaha maoli-mai ke kai a hiki i nā mauna a hiki i nā māla waina-ʻo Monterey County kahi kahua pāʻani kūpono no nā poʻe mākua ikaika. (A hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohui loa iā ia i ka papa inoa o nā wahi Instagrammable loa ma ka Honua.) Eia kekahi, ʻaneʻane maʻalahi ka ʻai ʻana i ke olakino i kahi ʻāina i kaulana no ka iʻa mau. (E hele pū me nā waina āpau āpau-no ka mea, kaulike.)

E koho a koho mai kēia papa inoa (a i ʻole e hoʻāʻo iā lākou a pau!) (E noʻonoʻo hoʻi iā Ojai, CA, no kahi ~ chiller ~ wellness vaca.)

He aha e hana ai ma Monterey, Kaleponi

1. Holo ma ka Monterey Rec Trail.

E lele ana kāu hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i kou ʻike ʻana ma kēia ala paʻa he 18 mile ma ka Pākīpika. Hāʻawi ka Monterey Rec Trail i nā ʻike he nui o ka Monterey Bay, ke kahakai pōhaku, a ʻike paha ʻoe i kekahi mau sila i ka wai. Mai poina iā Lovers Point Park (kahi āu e ʻike maopopo ai inā makemake ʻoe ʻO Lies liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi).

Makemake i ka heihei-heihei? Hoʻolālā hoʻolālā i kāu kipa a puni ka bakeke papa inoa kūpono ʻo Big Sur Marathon i ka hopena o ʻApelila. Holo i ka 26.2 holoʻokoʻa ma ke Alanui kiʻi kiʻi 1 (e holo pono ana ma kahakai) a i ʻole e koho i kekahi o nā koho papa pōkole (akā nani wale nō). 'Ōlelo Aʻo: Paʻakikī nā puʻu akā pono ia. (E hoʻohui pū i kēia mau hapa marathon a me nā marathon i kāu papa inoa e hana ai.)

2. E huakaʻi huakaʻi i Monterey.

Inā ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki o kou wikiwiki, e maʻa me ka wahi i ka wāwae me nā Original Monterey Walking Tours. E aʻo ʻoe e pili ana i ka mōʻaukala o Monterey a me nā mea pāʻani nui a pau o ka hoʻoilina o ia wahi, mai ka poʻe kamaʻāina Sepania a hiki i nā paionia nāna i haku i ke kumukānāwai mokuʻāina o Kaleponi i ka makahiki 1849. (ʻO Monterey ke kapikala mokuʻāina mua.)

3. Paikikala ma kahi o 17-Mile Drive kaulana.

ʻO ka ulana alanui ulana ma kahakai mai ka Pacific Grove a hiki i Carmel-by-the-Sea ma mua o nā hale palatial, ma o nā ulu lāʻau paina, a ma nā papa kolepa nani ʻo Pebble Beach. Kāhea aku iā Big Sur Adventures e hoʻolimalima i kahi keke uila no kahi jaunt solo, a i ʻole hui pū me kekahi o kā lākou huakaʻi alakaʻi. E hilinaʻi iā mākou: E hiki mai ana ke kaʻa uila ke piʻi mai ʻoe i ka makani poʻo a i ʻole nā ​​puʻu (ʻoi loa ma hope o ke aniani a ʻelua paha o ka waina ma Karemela).

4. E ʻike i nā mea ʻike ma ka lio.

ʻO nā huakaʻi holo lio alakaʻi ʻia a me nā kaʻa ala ala ʻo ia paha ke ala kūpono loa e makaʻala ai i ke kalana ʻo Monterey. E nānā i ka Monterey Bay Equestrian Center a i ʻole Chaparral Ranch, hiki iā ia ke alakaʻi iā ʻoe no kahi huakaʻi alakaʻi ma ke kahakai ʻo Salinas River State.

5. Pā i nā ala hele wāwae.

Ua piha ʻo Monterey County i nā ala hele wāwae e hele ana ma kahakai a hāʻawi i nā hiʻohiʻona nani o nā awāwa a me nā mauna a puni. Ma kahi o ke Alanui 68, e ʻike ʻoe iā Jacks Peak County Park. ʻO kahi lā pōkole e hāʻawi aku i nā hiʻohiʻona kupaianaha o Monterey Bay, Carmel Valley, a me nā mauna ʻo Saint Lucia, a me kekahi o nā kumulāʻau maoli ʻo Monterey Pine Tree e kū nei ma US (ʻAʻole e haʻi ʻia, e loaʻa iā ʻoe ke olakino maikaʻi ʻole. nā pōmaikaʻi o ka hele wāwae.)

Kapa ʻia ʻo "ka lei aliʻi o ka ʻōnaehana paka mokuʻāina," ʻo Point Lobos kahi wahi huakaʻi āu e makemake ʻole ai e nalo. Kū mai nā ala hele mai ka mea hoʻomaka a paʻakikī, no laila hiki iā ʻoe ke pae i luna a maʻalahi hoʻi. ʻO Lies liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi nā mea pā: E hele i kahi kiʻi nani ma ke kahakai ma Garrapata State Park a me ke kahakai, kahi āu e ʻike ai mai nā hiʻohiʻona he nui. (E ʻimi hou aku i nā lā holo wāwae ma Monterey maanei.)

Hoʻomaka no ka hele wāwae i ka pō? ʻO ke poʻo i Big Pad's Los Padres National Forest, kahi e loaʻa ai iā ʻoe he 323 mile o nā ala hele wāwae ma luna o 1.75 miliona ʻeka o ka wao nahele pristine. E makaʻala wale i nā holoholona hihiu like ʻole āu e hālāwai ai ma ke ala, e like me ka deer, raccoons, alopeke, a me nā puaʻa hihiu a me nā liona mauna.

6. Pāʻani i kekahi mau puka ma Pebble Beach (a i ʻole kahi papa kokoke).

Inā ʻoe e ʻimi ana e pā i nā loulou akā ʻaʻole makemake ʻoe e puna no nā uku e pāʻani ai i Pebble Beach, ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o 20 mau papa lehulehu a pilikino hoʻi e koho ai ʻo Monterey County. Eia, ka papa inoa piha o nā papa kolepa ʻo Monterey County.

7. E hele kaʻa a i ʻole ka hoe waʻa.

E kū kokoke a pilikino me nā sila (a ʻike paha i ke kohola!) Ke hele ʻoe i waho o ka wai me kahi kayak a hoe waʻa. E kelepona iā Monterey Bay Kayaks a i ʻole Adventures by the Sea, nāna e hāʻawi i nā lako a pau āu e pono ai, me nā ʻaʻahu ola. E mākaukau wale e pulu. (A, ʻae, helu ʻia ka hoe waʻa ma ke ʻano he hoʻomaʻamaʻa.)

8. E kipa aku i ka Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Ua kāhea aku nā holoholona a me nā mea kanu he 40,000 i ka home kaulana o Monterey Bay Aquarium. ʻAʻole makemake ʻoe e nalo i nā hānai penguin ola. Ma hope, e hele i lalo i Cannery Row, kahi i hopu ʻia me nā hale kūʻai mākaʻikaʻi, akā hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā hale ʻaina kūloko.

9. E nānā i ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā ma The Inn ma Spanish Bay.

Inā ʻoe e hana nei i kahi holo kaʻa ma ka 17-Mile Drive, e hoʻomaha loa ma The Inn ma Spanish Bay no kahi cocktail ʻoiai ʻoe e hopu i kahi lā kupaianaha. I ka napoo ʻana o ka lā, e pāʻani ana kahi ʻekeʻeke ma kahi mamao aku e hoʻohui i ka ʻike ʻē aʻe a puni ka honua.

Kahi e loaʻa ai ke olakino (ish) ʻai

• ʻO Dametra Cafe: E hoʻopiha i ka meaʻai me ka meaʻai Mediterranean hou i kēia wahi ʻoluʻolu. Ma hope o kou nosh, huki i kahi vino ma kekahi o nā lumi ʻono inu waina ma Carmel-by-the-Sea.
• Passion Fish: He wahi ea hou kēia hale ʻaina Monterey i nā kīʻaha e loaʻa ana i nā iʻa hou a me nā mea ʻai kūloko. Eia kekahi, ʻohi mau ʻia kā lākou iʻa ʻono a pau.
• Crema: Hāʻawi kēia wahi leʻaleʻa ma Pacific Grove i kahi brunch mea pepehi kanaka (me nā mimosa lalo a me nā micheladas bacon) a me nā mea inu kope ʻono.
• ʻO Happy Kitchen Kitchen: ʻElua wale nō palaka mai ka Monterey Bay Aquarium, lawelawe kēia cafe i nā mea mahiʻai hou, nā meaʻai kūloko no ka ʻaina kakahiaka a me ka ʻaina awakea, a kūʻai aku i ka jam, pickles, a me nā mea hana kēpau ʻē aʻe i kā lākou hale kūʻai.
• Paluca Trattoria: Aia ma ka uapo o Monterey's Old Fisherman's Wharf, kūikawā kēia wahi i nā mea hoʻoweliweli ʻItalia me nā punahele o ka uapo lawaiʻa kuʻuna. ʻO Lies liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi E hoʻomaopopo ka poʻe iā ia ʻo ka hale kūʻai kofe i hoʻohana pinepine ʻia.
• Nepenthe: Kū kiʻekiʻe ma luna o ke kapakai Pākīpika ma waho pono o ke ala nui 1, ʻike ʻia kēia hale ʻaina no kāna meaʻai ono (e like me ka Ambrosia Burger kaulana) a me nā ʻike e haehae ana i ka iwi ā.

Kahi e noho ai

• ʻEhiku Gables Inn: ʻO kēlā me kēia lumi o kēia moena aloha a me ka ʻaina kakahiaka e hōʻike ana i nā hiʻohiʻona moana a me nā mea hoʻonaninani kūʻokoʻa. Hiki i nā poʻe kipa ke ʻoluʻolu i kahi ʻaina kakahiaka kakahiaka nui i hoʻomoʻa ʻia i ka home i kēlā me kēia kakahiaka, a me ka waina a me nā mea ʻono i kēlā me kēia ahiahi.
• ʻO Portola Hotel a me Spa: ʻO kēia hōkele kaiāulu i Monterey e hāʻawi maʻalahi iā ʻoe i ke komo ʻana i ka hapa nui o nā wahi. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i ke kikowaena hoʻoikaika kino a me ka spa.
• ʻO Ventana Big Sur: No kahi ʻike kiʻekiʻe (a i ʻole kekahi mau mea kaulana) e nānā i kēia hale hoʻokipa maikaʻi ma Big Sur. Hiki iā ʻoe ke koho e noho ma ka hōkele, a i ʻole e hele i kahi ʻike glamping ma kahi kahua hoʻomoana i waena o nā lāʻau ʻulaʻula. (ʻO P.S. Ventana kekahi o nā wahi nani a hiki iā ʻoe ke hele i ka glamping inā ʻaʻole nā ​​ʻeke hiamoe kāu mea.)
• Nā kahua hoʻomoana: Makemake e hiamoe ma lalo o nā hōkū? Manaʻo kōkua: E ʻike inā hiki iā ʻoe ke hopu i kekahi o nā wahi liʻiliʻi ma Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hoʻomoana i loko o kahi ulu kaʻa ma luna o kahi wailele 80 kapuaʻi. (Kahakaha: Hiki ke pani ʻia kekahi mau pāka a me nā kahua hoʻomoana ma muli o ke aniau. E nānā i nā pāka ʻo Kaleponi a me ka Rec pūnaewele no nā mea hou loa.)

Pehea e kiʻi ai i laila

Hiki iā ʻoe ke lele i San Jose (SJC), ma kahi o hoʻokahi hola mai Monterey, a i ʻole ke kahua mokulele ʻāpana Monterey liʻiliʻi (MRY). ʻO kahi ʻē aʻe, hiki iā ʻoe ke hele i ke ala nani mai kahi kikowaena nui: ʻo Monterey ma kahi o hoʻokahi hola a me ka hapa mai Kapalakiko a i ʻole ʻelima mau hola mai Los Angeles.
