Towering redwoods and staggeringly beautiful views of the Big Sur coast will make you never want to leave this California state park that's just 56 miles south of Carmel.
Short hikes are ultra pretty and not too strenuous (a little climbing over logs or creeks). Make sure you take the falls trail to the 100-foot waterfall—or opt for the Hare Creek trail or other short walks that take you to an ocean view where you might even see dolphins frolicking.

There are 29 campsites (4 are walk-in), and RVs and trailers aren’t allowed on the redwoods side (only at campsites 5 through 16). The two loops ha Read more...
