Los Padres Forest, Monterey Division to open day use areas

Starting Saturday, May 16, Los Padres will re-open the day use sites at Sand Dollar, Willow Creek and Pfeiffer Beach to provide additional outdoor recreation spots for nearby residents. Coastal campgrounds, trails, and trailheads will remain closed until June 1, as will South Coast Ridge Road, Plaskett Ridge Road, North Coast Ridge Road and Los Burros (Willow Creek) Road. Hikers are encouraged to access the Ventana backcountry using the east side of the Monterey Ranger District.
