Big Sur Trailmap provides accurate trail and camp locations
based on local knowledge (GPS'd), also locally-known "use
trails", seasonal water sources, waterfalls, and other features in Big Sur state parks and wilderness areas.
Plus current wilderness and state park trail conditions and closures.
Created by a Big Sur explorer, updated from local reports. Helping coast+inland hikers since 2010.

Big Sur wilderness trails are not park‑like trails !
Some trails not signed or passable or followable !
Know the current trail conditions !
Trail maintenance in National Forest is by VWA trail crew, not USFS ! Last VWA volunteer trailcrew outing: Nov 7 [2 attended]
