BIG SUR COAST - CALIFORNIA

The Bixby Bridge in Big Sur. This is one of the most photographed bridges in the world. Although I have crossed it many times I am always impressed with the engineering feat as well the beauty of the arch and surroundings. I took the road that the bridge replaced and found to be quite beautiful as well. It serpentines through central maritime chaparral and redwood forests before it reconnects with Highway One. I recommend it to anyone that is not in a big hurry to get to Nepenthe.
