What's Your Passion?
Do you have a passion for hiking? Whether you're a serious adventurous hiker or a casual hiker who simply enjoys walks in nature there are many places to explore along the Monterey Coast. Big Sur is one place that attracts local and visiting hikers from around the world. The breathtaking views are simply unending. Spectacular views of the ocean, marine wildlife, coastal nature and redwood forests abound. Get a glimpse of a migrating gray, humpback, occasional blue whale or one of the giant Condors, a species still recovering from extinction. Big Sur offers miles of trails both easy and challenging. If you have a limited amount of time, hikingbigsur.com recommends two trails that are easily accessible by the same parking lot located just off Highway 1. McWay Waterfall Trail (.64 mi) and the Ewoldsen Trail (4.5 mi) are both stunningly beautiful and picturesque. Wherever you choose to explore, always remember to dress for the weather and assure you bring adequate food and water. For more information and road closures go to hikinginbigsur.com
