Nacimiento-Fergusson Road is a mountain road providing the only automobile access within the Big Sur region between Highway 1 and the inland US Highway 101. You should ask locally and obtain a good local map before using these roads. The Ventana Wilderness by Jeffrey P. Schaffer for more information. The highway curves around to the left and a vista of Pacific Valley's open pastureland cut by deep clefts suddenly comes into view. At sunset there may be cotton-candy clouds hanging on the hillsides.
Entrance is permitted only via a guided tour.
