Big Sur Fires and Access Restrictions Persist Despite October 16 State Park Reopening

Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park is now reported to reopen October 16 after the Timber Fire, but only selected facilities or routes may be accessible and extensive fire-damaged areas remain closed. The Plaskett Fire is roughly 29,000 acres at about 1% containment and the Timber Fire about 22%; verify State Parks, fire-agency, road, evacuation, and parking notices before planning.
