    Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park

    Named after Big Sur's first European settlers who arrived in 1869, Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park is the largest state park in Big Sur. There is miles of pristine hiking through redwoods in its 964 acres, though the popular trail to reach long and lean Pfeiffer Falls is only a 1.4-mile roundtrip walk.
