Pine Ridge Trail to Sykes Hot Springs
A popular 10-mile hike through the Big Sur wilderness with a relaxing finish, 10 miles.
Big Sur has many great destinations, but Sykes Hot Springs is definitely near the top of the list for anyone who has been there. It is roughly 9 miles to the Skyes campground, and limited climbing after the first 2 hours (which can be steep at times, and tiring in the direct sun). It is possible to treat it as a day hike, but it is recommended to take some time for the hike, as there are rolling green hills, several waterfalls, and wildflowers throughout the trail, none of which should be missed.
The hot springs is about 8 feet across and a couple of feet deep--about the size for 4 adults, and it stays around 100 degrees depending on rain.
Start by parking at the Ventana Wilderness area ranger station and heading towards the back parking lot.
