Big Sur is located along Scenic Highway One approximately 150 miles
south of San Francisco and 300 miles north of Los Angeles. Historically,
the name Big Sur, was derived from that unexplored and unmapped
wilderness area which lays along the coast south of Monterey. It was
simply called El Sur Grande, The Big South. Today, Big Sur refers to
that 90-mile stretch of rugged and awesomely beautiful coastline between
Carmel to the north and San Simeon (Hearst Castle) to the south. Highway
One winds along its length and is flanked on one side by the majestic
Santa Lucia Mountains and on the other by the rocky Pacific Coast.


Although there were two Mexican land grants awarded in the 1830's, which
included most of the area north of the Big Sur Valley, neither grantee
settled on the land. It was little more than a century ago when the
first permanent settlers arrived in Big Sur. In the following decades
other hardy persons followed and staked out their homesteads.

The landmarks bear the names of many of those early settlers - Mt.
Manuel, Pfeiffer Ridge, Post Summit, Cooper Point, Dani Ridge,
Partington Cove and others. Some of their descendants still live in Big Sur.

At the turn of the century Big Sur sustained a larger population than it
does today. A vigorous redwood lumbering industry provided livelihoods
for many. The Old Coast Trail, which had been the only link between
homesteads, was still little more than a wagon trail. Steamers
transported heavy goods and supplies and harbored at Notley's Landing,
Partington Cove, and the mouth of the Little Sur River.

Navigation was treacherous, and in 1889, the Point Sur Lighthouse
Station began sending its powerful beam to protect ships from the
hazards of the coastline.

In 1937, the present highway was completed after eighteen years of
construction at a considerable expense even with the aid of convict
labor. The highway has since been declared California's first Scenic
Highway, and it provides a driving experience unsurpassed in natural
beauty and scenic variety.

Electricity did not arrive in Big Sur until the early 1950's, and it
still does not extend the length of the coast or into the more remote
mountainous areas.

The proximity of the Pacific Ocean provides for a temperate climate.
Winters are mild, and rainy days are interspersed with periods of bright
sunshine. An average rainfall of over 50 inches fills the many streams
that flow down the redwood-lined canyons. Coastal fog cools the summer
mornings, but it usually lifts by early afternoon. The best weather is
often during the spring and fall.

It is wise to include both warm and cold weather clothing when packing
for Big Sur. A damp, foggy morning can be followed by a warm afternoon.
In the interior valleys of the Wilderness Area, the temperatures are
more extreme; the fog bank seldom crosses the coast ridge, so the days
are likely to be hot and the nights chilly.

The scenic qualities and the natural grandeur of the coast which result
from the imposing geography, the rich vegetative compositions, and the
dramatic meetings of land and sea are the area's greatest single
attraction to the public. Big Sur has attained a worldwide reputation
for its spectacular beauty. Hiking, backpacking and scenic driving are
major recreational activities.

Drive carefully. Highway One is one of the best maintained roads in the
world, but its sharp curves and steep hills still preclude high speed
driving. This breathtaking stretch of coastline has something to offer
any visitor. So relax and enjoy the awesome beauty of the timeless Big
Sur Coast.

I live closer to Hwy 2. It ran through the forest in the middle of town.
Here is that forest burning down, as seen from outer space. I am
directly behind the brown ugly cloud from Hell on the left.

You really need to be made of pioneer stock to put up with this stuff.
We are a hearty lot, we greater Angelenos.
