Take Highway 880 South, which will change into Highway 17. This becomes a mountain
road.
Take Highway 1 North, towards Half Moon Bay, and continue to follow the signs
that say, "Highway 1".
Highway 1 will no longer be a freeway, but will become a city street as you
take a right turn onto Mission Street.
Turn left onto Bay Street. The road will dead-end on West Cliff Drive.
Turn left onto West Cliff Drive, and you will see the hotel on the right.
Go back up Bay Street and continue until you reach the UCSC campus entrance.
| Bay Street changes its name to Coolidge Drive. You will need A PARKING PERMIT, so stop at the kiosk on the right, just past the entrance, to purchase one ($6.00 per day). Turn right, out of the kiosk parking lot and proceed on Coolidge. Coolidge becomes McLaughlin Drive. |  |
|
| If the Kiosk is closed, drive 3/10 of a mile beyond the campus
entrance. Drive past the Blacksmith Shop on the left, and take
the
next Right turn. Turn immediately right again, and drive to the end, to
the H Barn. There will be a table out in front of the H Barn where you
can pick up your parking permit, or you can go inside. After purchasing
your parking permit ($6.00), drive back to Coolidge and turn Right.
(Coolidge will become McLaughin). Proceed for about 2 1/2 miles to the end of McLaughlin and turn Left onto Heller. (You will see the concrete Parking Structure on your left, on the corner of McLaughin and Heller.) Make an immediate Left off of Heller into the Parking Structure entrance. Park your car. |
