Andrew Molera Classic Loop

Description:

• This grand loop of Andrew Molera State Park takes you through classic Big Sur scenery. Starting along the bottomlands of the Big Sur River (which still has a steelhead run), you'll follow the river out towards the ocean on the Creamery Trail before turning uphill on the Ridge trail, where you'll be treated to big time coastal views. On the Panorama Trail, those views become truly breathtaking as you feel like you're descending right on top of the Pacific. As you come down into close contact with the ocean, you'll turn back north along the Bluff Trail, from which you can explore an isolated beach piled high with driftwood after a winter storm. Reaching the river, turn back east toward your car and Highway 1 to complete this grand loop in one of California's most stunning state parks.
