I was raised on this beautiful majestic Central California Coast and have long had a love affaire with the Pacific Coast Highway 1 and the Big Sur Pacific Coast; let me be your guide.

Big Sur Business and Campground Closures:

Most Big Sur Business, Motels, Restaurants, Resorts and Campgrounds along the Big Sur Scenic Pacific Coast Highway 1 are open and operating in their normal off-season manner.

Last summer's fire came at the height of tourist season and consequently Big Sur businesses could use support more than usual now. Visiting the Big Sur in the off-season is always my personal preference; come and enjoy the beauty, serenity, and peace that define the Scenic Big Sur Coast.

Pacific Coast Highway One, PCH 1, Closures:

PCH 1, Pacific Coast Highway 1 -The Pacific Coast Highway 1 remains open unless it is closed by the California Department of Transportation; for current conditions call 1-800.427.7623, or you can check PCH 1 Highway Conditions at the California Department of Transportation website Mobile.

Forest & other Big Sur Road Closures:

Monterey Ranger District Fire Closure - Due to safety hazards resulting from the Basin, Indians and Chalk Fires, most of the Monterey Ranger District, including the entire Ventana Wilderness, will remain closed to public entry through the winter. Hazards include falling trees and limbs, rockslides, and the potential for mudslides and flash flooding.

Winter Road & Trail Closures - Certain roads in Los Padres National Forest are subject to weather-related closures. Most of the roads are closed just prior to predicted storms and are reopened once the road surface dries out.
