トリッシュヒルズの天然記念物・トップ20

The Allan Memorial Grove in Point Lobos State Natural Reserve is home to one of the last naturally growing stands of Monterey cypress—trees that once blanketed much of the Central Coast. The Cypress Grove Trail is a short, scenic loop (about 0.8 miles) that winds through this grove along dramatic coastal bluffs. You'll get sweeping ocean views, rugged cliffs, and a chance to spot seabirds, sea lions, or even whales offshore. It’s an easy, must-do trail for first-time visitors.

Wonderful and varied coastal landscape with many birds, seals and sea lions.

A beautiful view point for that waterfall. The furthest point you could get on the trail. At this point it was closed because of rotten path fastening. Beautiful place to view sunsets in winter time.

Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park is located in Monterey County on California's Central Coast and spans approximately 1,006 acres along the scenic Big Sur River. Often referred to as a "mini Yosemite," this park is known for its lush redwood forests, dramatic peaks of the Santa Lucia Mountains, and the historic Colonial Tree, a coast redwood estimated to be 1,100-1,200 years old. At the park, you can hike, bike, camp, and swim in the Big Sur River. Camping is available, but reservations are highly recommended due to the park's popularity. Alternatively, guests can stay in one of the rustic cottages at the nearby Big Sur Lodge. Please be advised, however, as of April 2024, the park is temporarily closed due to mudslides and road damages on Highway 1. Visitors are advised to check the CalTrans Quick Map for the latest updates on road closures and detours.

A true hiking highlight Definitely worth a visit
