Beautifully done....one does not need words to see what is happening - just poetry. Thank you Tim
Agreed. I think the LACK of words contributes to the effectiveness of this video - that and the music.

Beautifully done! This summer it hit me that we're heading in much the same direction. Our favorite trail down to the beach had human excrement in the middle of the path with toilet paper strewn all over. Some folks just have no class whatsoever. In many ways, I'm rather glad to be reaching my "expiration date" and won't have to see where all this takes us. Kudos to you and the others fighting to preserve any of the beauty that is being spoiled.
wow - nice. But sad. Hope my heart doesn't break when I finally get back there...
It is difficult to watch...

They say "Leave No Trace" but your foot prints ... too many foot prints...😥
Pretty much says it all without words. Nicely done.
Heart taking
Kate, same old pack of swarming, hiking, & parking nomads ignoring signs around them on trails and roads!
Beautifully done video. I knew what was coming... As a life-long local, I have only been to Big Sur twice since the bridge repair. Its just not the same experience anymore. I hate to add to the traffic and crowds. Im glad for the businesses, as they can recoup from the closures. I wish for a balance and grace to befall all who venture there - to the Edge of Heaven.
Yes, I agree
This video was beautifully done and does a great job of portraying the immense increase of tourism in our area! Kudos to Tim for this video and I hope people start realizing, sooner rather than later, the impact that this is having on our environment ... it just breaks my heart ...
He did this so well...
Shut the road down and make it thru hike only, if you want to see the best nature has to offer, make the long term investment in your health, take the risk and put in the effort to hike the 90 miles, this will bring only people that care enough for themselves to respect and care about nature.
But that will never happen, since all the camp stores and campgrounds are full of garbage and big money wants glamping for the low effort wealthy human.
Leave your baggage, find your feet and recognize 'all the moments are borrowed and every step outdoors opens into the eternal now.'

I love the sentiment, John.
