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.
