McWay Falls Professional Guide

Detailed Trail Description from our Guidebook

"This is one of Big Sur’s shortest, most spectacular, and most popular trails. You’ll follow McWay Creek a half mile to the viewpoint atop an open bluff for stunning views of the cove and open coastline. Summer crowds are elbow to elbow along this heavily used trail."
