Hello everyone,

I have gotten questions from local residents/employees about what businesses are still open in the Big Sur Valley so I did some calling around this afternoon. If you are a resident in Big Sur during these closures, please help support our local businesses if you need things at the general stores or grab a meal at a local restaurant.

This information is subject to change and it is always good to check with local businesses daily to see if they are open, I will list phone numbers.

As far as State Parks are concerned- all CA State Parks are currently closed in the Big Sur Area. The Big Sur Station remains open from 9am-4pm -667-2315

Local USFS trail systems that are still open for day hiking include the Pine Ridge Trail and Boronda Trail. Updated park information can be found on our websites www.parks.ca.gov/pbssp

From Runner’s World, the last time there was a slip out in March of 2011 not too far from the current slip out: “The 2011 course was out-and-back, starting and finishing at the Crossroads in Carmel, veering off to Point Lobos State Park for one portion.” But at this point, they are awaiting word from Caltrans on Friday after this storm to determine how or if the course needs to be altered. Right now, all options are on the table, including running the original course. For further discussion on this issue see yesterday’s story in Runner’s World: https://www.runnersworld.com/news/a60385647/big-sur-marathon-course-collapse/
