Access to one of San Diego's most impressive views and serene environments will resume Saturday, according to Anne Marie Tipton with the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve.
People could walk or ride on horseback to enter the state park in the past but Saturday will mark the first time in 2013 vehicles can enter the park, Tipton said.
Vehicle access has been closed since last October due to flooding on a road that leads visitors to Monument Mesa and Friendship Park in the most southwestern corner of the continental United States.
Grass and shaded picnic tables atop Monument Mesa were replaced in 2012.
Access is limited to every Saturday and Sunday. The park will be open from 9:30am to 7pm. The fee is $5 per vehicle.
Sewage contaminated water also kept the shoreline closed for near six months until the beach opened for the first time in 2013 in late May.
