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
