Travel. From the San Francisco International aiport (SFO), it is about 120 miles by car (Wes suggests you take the following route from SFO: 380 to 280 south to 85 south/east to 101 south to 156 west to 1 south). Alternatively, there is (limited) commercial air service into the Monterey regional airport (KMRY), which is about 10 miles from Asilomar.
