Beautiful place. Long hike. Wear clothing to keep you from coming into contact with the poison oak plants. We did not know but we had no trouble with it.

We originally wanted to do the Mount Manuel hike at the Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park but due to a landslide we were recommended this hike instead by the park ranger - we wanted a day hike that is a good workout - uphill, moderate to long distance and offers great view at the top. The hike itself was ok... More

We stopped by Andrew Molera for a quick hike out to the coast after spending most of the day inland hiking among the redwoods. The area was pretty and we got some nice views, including our first sea otter spotting of the trip.
