    Hiking

    This exposed summit view at Pfeiffer Ridge is fantastic amid the classic Big Sur scrub, where you will enjoy panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Santa Lucia Mountains and Sycamore Canyon. Looking inland, you will see Manuel Peak looming large with trail switchbacks along the mountainside. There is a nice flat rock here, making it an ideal place to enjoy a picnic, rest, and enjoy the scenery.
