A wildfire near California's scenic Highway 1, which winds along the Pacific coastline, prompted evacuation orders in Monterey County on Friday night.
The Colorado Fire was sparked in Palo Colorado Canyon in the Big Sur region, according to the county's office of emergency services.
A portion of Highway 1 was closed in both directions, the Department of Transportation said in a tweet Saturday. The road is closed for about 21 miles, between the entrance to Andrew Molera Park in Big Sur to Rio Road in Carmel.
