McWay Falls at Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park

Posted by Don Smith (California, United States) on 19 March 2008 in Landscape & Rural.

Here is another image from my recentlly concluded spring Big Sur workshop. This was our first outing after an orientation meeting. The group was treated to an awesome sunset - perhaps the best I've seen at this breathtaking setting. McWay Falls is fed by a fresh-water stream (McWay Creek) and cascades 80 feet onto a pristine beach (off-limits to the general public) and out to the Pacific Ocean. The cove's turqoise-colored water is due to the lack of kelp and is bordered by Saddle Rock.
