Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park

Julia Pfeiffer Burns

Julia Pfeiffer Burns state park is situate about 8 miles south of Big Sur on Highway1. This is the park where the famous McWay fall exist, but the park also has a very nice hike - the Enevoldsen Loop. I found t very difficult to take pictures from the hike, but the hike is really a beautiful hike, with lots of variations, and some amazing views. I have visited the place several times, but this was the first time, I was there, where the Enevoldsen loop trail was open. I went there with on of my Friends Jeff in June of 2003.
