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.
