Day 2 we drove down to Big Sur. It was about 40 miles south of us and the fog was pretty heavy in some areas. We drove thru the clouds on a winding road to get there which made it quite a journey.
We first stopped at McWay Falls in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park. It's a short hike to the viewpoints and you get some amazing views but with the fog so thick it wasn't nearly as dramatic as some of the pictures we've seen of it.
The hike was really nice though and we got our first views of the coastal redwoods.
We then drove to Pfieffer Burns State Park. After a short visit to the lodge we did about a 3 mile hike to another falls and to a viewpoint. It started to warm up as well :)
Everything was nice and green :)
By the end of the hike it was really warm and Jamie started to melt!
We then found a nice little picnic area near the Big Sur River for lunch. We were pretty hungry and thirsty and it didn't take long for us all to eat everything, lol.
As I mentioned earlier it did warm up and Jamie and I had our water shoes in the truck. So we walked into the river to cool off for a bit. The water was pretty cold but it felt really good and it was a lot of fun. Big Sur was beautiful and it was nice to be outdoors in the forest for the day.
