Directions from San Francisco to Purisima Creek Redwoods

From San Francisco, take Rt 1 south to Half Moon Bay. About a mile or two on Rt 1 south of the intersection with Hwy 92, watch for a green/white sign pointing left to Higgins-Purisima Rd. Turn left onto Higgins-Purisima Rd, which runs exactly at a right-angle to Rt 1.

Drive along Higgins-Purisima Rd for about 4.3 miles of narrow, twisting road. At the bottom of a wooded valley where the road makes a sharp turn and crosses a small bridge, turn left into the Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve. The parking lot can only accommodate about 6 cars, but if you must park on the roadside, observe the posted parking restrictions.
