Access to Pico

Many of you may have heard of the slip out on Highway 1 near the Rocky Creek Bridge (http://www.ksbw.com/video/27222972/detail.html). The closure is just south of Palo Colorado Canyon, the turnoff to Pico Blanco. Therefore, as long as you are coming from the north, which is the way the vast majority of campers access Pico, you will be fine. Sometimes units from the San Luis Obispo area choose to take Highway 1 all the way up the coast. However, with the closure, you'll need to take 101 to Salinas and then cut over to the coast.

We'll let you know when the road reopens. Current estimates are at least one month.

The bottom line:
Travel to Pico Blanco from Monterey is NOT affected by the slide
