Trail Overview
This is a 14-mile trail along a ridgeline that dead-ends on private property. Spectacular views span from the sea to the valley. Many Big Sur hiking trails end on this road. Numerous side trails lead illegally into Fort Hunter Liggett. Do not take them! The fort is a testing ground for tanks and artillery.
