Another Hearst Castle question . . .

We%26#39;ll be in Monterey for a few days starting this Friday, the 9th. We want to drive down to Hearst Castle one day. Any advice on whether it would be better (in terms of traffic and crowds at the Castle) to go on Saturday, Sunday or Monday? Thanks!

Well, logic would say Monday. But it is May and the tourists are not really out yet.





Your choice.

I take that back. Traffic on Hwy 1 would surely be less on Monday, tourists or no because even relative locals like to drive that road.

Got stopped for a bit where some road work was going on along Hwy 1 this past Tuesday and it was a slow moving parade of cars for the rest of the trip. Be sure to give yourself lots of time (at least 3 hours) for the drive down Hwy 1 or take the quicker 101 route to just south of Paso Robles at Hwy 46 West (don%26#39;t confuse with eastbound to Fresno/Bakersfield) to Hwy 1, then north about 8 miles up to Hearst Castle.




Thanks, both of you!
