Big
Sur is the 90-mile stretch of scenic highway from Carmel to San Simeon. It’s a windy drive over
treacherous turns with steep drop-offs, but has incredible views. It was closed for 14 months due to a landslide, but fortunately reopened in July.
On
the left side in the picture below is the 80-foot high McWay Falls, California’s
only coastal waterfall that drops straight into the sea.
We
took a half mile hike down to Partington Cove in Julia Pfeiffer
Burns State
Park. The trail took us to two parts. To get to
the first part we went through a tunnel.
Here’s
the view on the other side of the tunnel
We
had lunch here.
The
second part took us to a rocky cove.
The
lighting was great at the end of the day.

We
saw this guy painting the scene and he was fine with us taking a picture of
him.
We
enjoyed seeing the sunset.
