Pfeiffer Falls Trail at Big Sur Reopens Friday After 13-Year Closure
After a 2008 wildfire destroyed much of the infrastructure of the most popular hiking trail in Big Sur, it s taken all these years to complete a $2 million project to replace it all. But now the public will finally get to hike down to Pfeiffer Falls once again, starting Friday.
It was a project done in partnership by California State Parks and Save the Redwoods League, and as the Associated Press reports, it involved the replacement of bridges, stairs, railings, asphalt walkways, and more. 12 years after it began, the realigned Pfeiffer Falls trail reopens, complete with a new 70-meter pedestrian bridge across Pfeiffer Redwood Creek ravine, that offers dramatic views.
