Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park: Ewoldsen Loop
by Site Administrator on Tue May 26, 2009 2:54 pm
Description:
The Ewoldsen Loop in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park is likely the most diverse and rewarding dayhike a visitor to Big Sur can make. Along its approximately 4-mile length it offers sweeping coastal views, passes through beautiful oak forests, wanders along cheerfully cascading McWay Creek beneath towering redwoods, and at one point passes within a few yards of the second-largest redwood tree in Monterey County. With about 1,200' of total elevation gain, this loop should be considered moderately strenuous, but a more quintessential Big Sur day-hiking experience is hard to find.
