Document Description
The proposed project includes improvements to existing trail segments (1060 linear feet) and construction of a new trail segment (1500 linear feet). The new trail segment would replace the previously existing Pfeiffer Falls Trail which was damaged by wildfire and has been closed to public access since 2008. The improved and new trail segments would provide enhanced pedestrian trail access within the Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. Trail improvements to the existing segments would feature a five-foot wide compacted aggregate surface contained in redwood header boards. The new segment would be a five foot wide natural surface trail. Wood steps, split wood rail fencing, and rock retaining walls would be installed where needed in areas of steep slopes and to protect natural resources. Two existing gathering areas and new canyon overlook would be improved with a compacted base, rock retaining walls, benches and interpretive kiosks/displays. The proposed project also includes a new 70-ft long free spanning pedestrian bridge that would also be constructed further up the creek corridor over an unnamed tributary.
