Nacimiento-Fergusson Road

The Nacimiento-Fergusson Road is a long narrow winding road over the coast range. It can be used to access highway 1 from highway 101 - it is about a 50 mile drive from highway 101 to highway 1.

It is very windy and in many places is just one lane. It has spectacular mountaintop ocean views when you get to the ocean side.

With the closer of Highway 1 in the Big Sur area in 2017 it is the only way to access some areas of the Big Sur coast.

You should drive slowly over the road especially when approaching blind corners - someone may be coming the other way!

The Nacimiento-Fergusson Road is called Nacimiento Road on the street signs on the Big Sur side.

If you take this road, expect a fairly slow trip!
