The settlement of Big Sur stands as the central landmark in this coastal survey, where the Big Sur River meets the steep elevations of the Santa Lucia Range. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the Pacific Ocean to high ridges like Pfeiffer Ridge and Hopkins Ridge. This area, much of which is protected within the Los Padres National Forest, shows a complex network of canyons and gulches, including Dairy Gulch and Swiss Canyon.
