Post Ranch Inn
Getting there
- Planes Monterey has the closest airport – it’s 30 miles away from the hotel. United Airlines (www.united.com) fly from San Francisco to Monterey; American Eagle (www.aa.com) will get you there from Los Angeles. Transfers can be arranged.
- Trains The Amtrak-served station in Salinas is 45 miles away (www.amtrak.com). Get here from Napa, San Jose, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego.
- Automobiles From Carmel, the drive should take 40 minutes. The cliff-edge route down Highway 1 is so spectacular, you’ll need to stop often – so you might like to be behind the wheel of your own wagon to control photo-opportunity pauses. You’ll find the hotel 330 miles north of Los Angeles and 150 miles south of San Francisco. From Highway 101, exit onto Jolon Road/Fort Hunter Liggett, just after the Bradley exit, and stay on this road for 26 miles. You’ll come to a sign: obey it and turn left into Fort Hunter Liggett. Then, follow signs for Nacimiento-Fergusson Road, which you’ll need to stay on for 25 miles. Be careful, it’s narrow and very curvy. At Highway 1, turn right and drive north for roughly 45 minutes, and the hotel will be on your left.
