Nacimiento-Fergusson Road

Nacimiento-Fergusson Road is the only road across the Santa Lucia Range on the Central Coast of California, connecting California State Route 1 and the Big Sur coast to U.S. Route 101 and the Salinas Valley. The road is well-paved and maintained over its length, but is winding and has precipitous drops. It is widely regarded as one of the best motorcycling roads in central California due to its ocean views and forest setting.

In January 2021, the road was washed out due to the impacts of the Dolan Fire and closed. After extensive repairs, on November 15, 2024, the road reopened to through traffic.
