Big Sur is located on HWY 1 in ancient groves of redwood and oak trees in Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. Big Sur, California is famous for its pristine natural beauty and dramatic, rugged coastline and has been an inspiration to writers, artists, and seekers of a more simple life.

Numerous hiking trails are located in the 1,006 acre park and a scenic highlight is Pfeiffer Falls Trail which winds over rustic bridges across Pfeiffer Redwood Creek and ends at a 60-foot high waterfall. From this trail, some of the finest redwood groves in the Big Sur region can be viewed. Wildlife is abundant in the park and condors soar overhead, often stopping to rest in the top of a redwood tree right outside the entrance to the main lodge.
