Pfeiffer Falls + Valley View
This 40 to 60 minute stroll along Pfeiffer-Redwood Creek features some of the finest redwood groves in the Big Sur region. Expect steps in the few steeper sections and a number of wooden footbridges across the creek. The 60 foot high waterfall at the end of the trail is a scenic highlight. A wooden platform at the base of the falls is a fine place to rest, meditate or have a picnic lunch … okay, we took pictures and then continued to the Valley View Hike.
You can climb through the oak woodland to the Valley View Overlook. The view from this vantage point includes much of the Big Sur Valley, Point Sur and Andrew Molera State park.

Buzzard’s Roost
A rugged two-hour hike along the Park’s western edge will take you along the river, through shady redwoods, then through a series of switchbacks among bay trees and tanoaks to the chaparral covered top of Pfeiffer Ridge. From the top there is a magnificent panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Lucia Mountain Range.
