Frenchmans Cap
Frenchmans Cap 2 days to 4 days 5 44.2 km ↑ 3215 m Very challenging Return ↓ 3215 m Starting from the Frenchmans Cap Carpark on the Lyell Highway, Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park, this walk leads to the summit of Frenchmans Cap and back via the Frenchmans Cap Track. This strenuous hike takes you to one of the most remarkable mountain peaks in South-West Tasmania. From the top, the view is nothing short of incredible, with Tasmania’s rugged Wilderness World Heritage Area stretching as far as you can see. The journey to the summit includes a wonderfully varied mix of landscapes – golden-hued button grass moorlands, fragrant Eucalypt forests, moss-strewn rainforests, and the resilient wonders of the alpine flora. There are two huts, Lake Vera Hut and Lake Tahune Hut, along the track as well as several designated campsites. Climbing the summit requires some rock scrambling, and this final ascent should only be attempted if the weather is clear enough. The weather at Frenchmans Cap is highly unpredictable, and the trail will be wet, muddy and demandingly steep at times. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. 1,470 1,248 1,026 804 582 360 0 m 11 km 21 km 1.1 km 2.2 km 3.3 km 4.4 km 6.6 km 8.8 km 9.9 km 5x 5.5 km 7.7 km 13.2 km 14.3 km 12.1 km 15.4 km 16.5 km 17.6 km 18.8 km 19.9 km 22.1 km Class 5 of 6 Rough unclear track Quality of track Rough track, where fallen trees and other obstacles are likely (4/6) Gradient Very steep

Big Sur Highway 1 Sustainable Transportation Demand Management Plan
BIG SUR HIGHWAY 1 SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT PLAN The Big Sur Coast Highway – a 100 mile majestic experience from Carmel to Hearst Castle – is experiencing travel pressures that could damage the very scenic qualities and natural beauty that make the area so precious. Caltrans is working with a stakeholder Advisory Committee, stakeholder groups from different regions along the corridor, and interested residents to develop a Sustainable Transportation Demand Management Plan. The Plan will provide a collaborative and comprehensive framework to address the increasing visitor demand along the Big Sur Coast in an efficient and environmentally-sustainable way. The plan builds upon the 2004 Big Sur Coast Highway Management Plan and the Big Sur Land Use Plan to develop a set of goals and strategies to address visitor demands along the highway. Collaboration among stakeholders to address shared Monterey issues is a key principle of the Plan. Carmel The Big Sur corridor runs from Carmel-by-the-Sea in the north Outcomes and goals of the planning effort include: to the intersection of Highway 1 and State Route 46 in the south. • Creating and meeting stakeholders’ vision and goals • Developing viable alternatives to driving • Addressing visitor needs to reduce impacts to natural and CORRIDOR Hwy scenic resources Big Sur 101 LOS PADRES • Developing parking strategies NATIONAL FOREST • Coordinating with and building from other community Slates Hot Springs and stakeholder-driven projects • Identifying potential electric vehicle charging stations Lucia Plaskett How to Get Involved Gorda Community input will be gathered via multiple outreach events MONTEREY COUNTY throughout 2019.
