Getting Outdoors

The Overlook Trail is one of the most popular in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park. At only 0.5 miles, it is an easy hike and, as the name suggests, takes you to a stunning viewpoint of McWay Falls, one of the most unique and majestic falls along the coastline. The 80-foot freshwater falls tumbles down a granite cliff and into a picturesque cove. The fact that the trail is wheelchair friendly means that it can be enjoyed by all. Another good hike in the park is the Partington Cove Trail, which is a mile loop. The steep but short hike that takes you over a bridge and down into a 60ft tunnel.
