Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park

Situated at the western base of the Santa Lucia Mountains, the landscape of Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park is sure to awe and inspire. The rugged mountain peaks tower above the Big Sur River Gorge, providing almost unlimited options for outdoor enthusiasts. Take a day hike up high for a view of the Big Sur valley, launch from the park into the back country via the 200 miles of trails in the Ventana Wilderness portion of Los Padres National Forest, explore the canyon for a swimming hole or waterfall, take a meandering walk on the Nature Trail, have a picnic or play softball on the field next to the Big Sur River, or simply relax and enjoy the natural beauty and wildlife.
