We are delighted to share that coveted swims, dinners, and the popular Twilight on the Terrace are back at Hearst Castle for 2022!

Superintendent Dan Falat of the San Luis Obispo Coast District of CA State Parks says the torrential rains which washed out part of Highway One also created issues for the road that architect/civil engineer Julia Morgan designed up the hill to the historical monument.
