![]() ![]() Leave a comment if you have been to the falls and loved it as much as I did. If you stop at this park, you should also take the Ewoldsen Trail hike as well (currently closed in 2018) as it is right across the street, but that is for another blog post.Īlso, this is a great spot for sunset if you can stay till then. Do you see the waterfall to the left :) If you do, its the McWay Falls in Julia Pfeiffer burns state park in Big Sur, California. It is easy to point your camera in any direction and get a great picture. ![]() Every time I turned a corner I saw another view that I thought might be better than the last. It is indeed a perfect piece of creation, and I would love to spend more time traveling up and down it. If you continue along the path, you are also greeted with a great view of the Big Sur coastline at the end. Other people have said this is not true, but that is what the ranger told me, so do it at your own risk. Let me know if you do this is as I would love to know how it goes. It seems like it would be a pretty fantastic trip to kayak in and stand under the falls, though, if you have your own gear. The forest ranger that was working there told me that you could put your kayak in about two miles north and kayak down into the cove without getting a ticket however, he said it is a problematic cove to get out of if you are not a good kayaker. Not sure if this is still ok in 2018 as this piece of information was from 2011. I don’t know how much it was for, but I don’t recommend you find out. ![]() When we were there, they were bringing someone up who had made their way down and had gotten themselves a ticket. Also, it provides an excellent vista for photos without anyone getting in the picture. Keeping it closed adds to the beauty, in my opinion, as it detracts from people going down and messing it up. It is entirely closed off and would actually be a pretty technical climb to get there. Unfortunately, you can’t walk all the way down to the falls. The trail is a mere quarter of a mile and features views of the waterfall the entire time. If you miss this gem, you really should turn around and find it you will know you are there when you see the cars lining both sides of the road. The waterfall is located about 40 miles south of Carmel in a state park that sneaks up on you amid the Highway 1 curves. The water cascades down the face of the cliff and lands right on the sand, feeding the ocean itself. McWay Falls in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park is one of the most beautiful waterfalls I have ever seen and one of the best in California. ![]()
