What is your favorite hike of all time?

[ellisonz]

I like short hikes (lame, I know), but I think it's cool when anyone can do them.

I really loved hiking in Partington Cove in the Big Sur area of Central California.

Introduction
A quick and steep hike takes you down through a tree-lined canyon to a scenic rocky beach and through a tunnel to Partington Cove.

Used as a loading point for tanbark around the turn of the nineteenth century, Partington Cove's history comes alive as you walk through the 60 foot tunnel and pop out in a secluded cove where rusty remains of the loading apparatus perch on the rocks.
