The most popular hiking trail at Julia Pfeiffer Burns Big Sur State Park is McWay Waterfall Trail. Measuring in at just .64 mile, it's the shortest Big Sur trail - but also, it’s most essential. Hikers enjoy both northern and southern Coastal views while winding towards the most iconic image of Big Sur: the 80-foot McWay Falls, splashing from the creek of the same name to the edge of the sea.
