This State Park is a definite must see if travelling around Big Sur, California. There are several trails, but the most popular one is to see McWay Falls, the only waterfall that goes directly into the Ocean. This was an easy hike on a pretty flat gravel path to see the waterfall and breathtaking views.

We stopped here on our way from Monterey to Anaheim early in the morning. It was really quiet and the weather was fantastic, it truly is a beautiful sight and seeing the Condors was a bonus.
