For our day in Big Sur, we started with a 4.8 mile hike of the Buzzard’s Roost Trail in Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. It is a wonderful hike that starts out following the Big Sur River, climbs through the shady redwood forest to a sunny ridge that provides a panoramic view of the ocean and mountains. It was gray and foggy when we began the hike, but by the time we reached the ridge, it was a nice sunny day that afforded beautiful views. After the hike, we found a picnic spot by the car where we enjoyed lunch before heading to the next stop - the Partington Cove Trail. We parked along Highway 1 and followed the steep dirt path down to the isolated cove.

The fog was just beginning to burn off as we made it to the top of the ridge.

After a day of hiking, we decided that dinner in Monterey sounded really good, so we headed north with one last stop to take pictures at Bixby Bridge.
