California
The beauty of the magnificent McWay Falls
Activity
free
If you plan to drive along the Pacific Coast Highway, be sure to also admire the mesmerizing McWay Falls! This stunning waterfall in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park can be found after a short walk. The whole setting is like a scene straight out of a fairytale, with the cascading waterfall and the gorgeous beach below it. Such a picturesque spot! We spent like half an hour admiring the waterfall, we couldn't get enough of it. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip! The hike itself is really short (0.5 mile/800m) and pretty accessible so nothing should stop you from going on the Waterfall Overlook Trail! Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park also has other magnificent trails, ranging from easy (Canyon Trail, Waters Trail) to hard and/or long (Ewoldsen Trail, Tan Bark Trail). You could easily spend a whole day here, but make sure to pay for your parking spot by using the deposit box! Otherwise rangers might give you a ticket.
