MONTEREY â Repairs to Californiaâs most scenic highway, Highway 1, have been completed weeks ahead of schedule, enabling the highway to reopen on Friday, April 23 in Monterey County. Now is the moment for travelers to responsibly explore more than 655 miles along Californiaâs coast including the ruggedly breathtaking utopia of Big Sur. The reopening grants full access to Monterey Countyâs diverse parks, culinary bounty and impressive lodging portfolio featuring everything from campgrounds to luxury resorts.
Travelers can look to visit staple attractions and sites, as well as recently opened or soon to be open trails and dining options throughout Big Sur and beyond. As travel returns to the region, Monterey County encourages visitors to educate themselves on new rules, regulations and responsible visitation behavior including leaving no trace behind, staying on designated trails, camping in designated areas and following CDC guidelines.
