1 Bixby Bridge
To tell the truth, Big Sur
is more a state of mind
than a place you can
pinpoint on a map. But
the photogenic Bixby
Bridge lets you know
you’ve finally arrived.
Arching above Rainbow
Canyon, this landmark is
one of the world’s highest
single-span bridges,
completed in 1932 by
prisoners eager to lop
time off their sentences.
Stop on the north side
of the bridge for an
irresistible photo op.
