Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park

The ridge overlooking the famous waterfall. Today we saw humpback & blue whales along with condors and turkey vultures. Look hard and you can see the whales. Fantastic hiking trip in big sur. need to take a wildernesses workshop at esalen or tassajara with guide Steven Harper to really get a sense of this magical area.

From Los Angeles to San Francisco, don't miss this Park on the Highway 1. You will see the McWay Falls, which drops over a cliff of 80 feet (24 m) into the Pacific Ocean.
