Glen Oaks Big Sur
Big Sur · Monterey County · redwoods
A mid-century motor lodge remade as a small hotel on the Big Sur River, with two ceremony sites in the redwoods.
Big Sur closes. Wildfire and winter slides shut Highway 1 and the state parks along it, sometimes for a season, and access is often cut from one direction while the other stays open. Anything planned here is planned around that. The park or venue's own page and Caltrans carry current conditions.
