Friday March 29th - Day Eight

Friday we spent exploring the Big Sur Coast. In our drive down, we cross over the Bixby Bridge, one of the most photographed spots along the cost. This was just one of many spots with beautiful vistas. We eventually arrived at Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park. This is a small park, created primarily for McWay falls and the river upstream into the mountains. The falls are very easy to reach off the parking area. We also hiked up in the opposite direction into the canyon that feeds it on the Ewoldsen trail. After exploring there, we headed over to Pfeiffer Big Sur state park. In this park we did a hike to Buzzard’s Roost and explored Pfeiffer Beach. This beach is just below the state park is actually part of the Los Padres National Forest. This was a very scenic area that we really enjoyed and spent a lot of time at. The parking area is very small, so if you go, you may need to wait in line for it. We headed back to Monterey for the evening.
