Crowds really aren't our thing, so we point the Dodge towards Big Sur and cruise as far south along Hwy 1 as we can. Landslides earlier in the year have closed the highway at Gorda, but as this is a stretch we've always wanted to see, we'll drive as far as we can and then enjoy the scenery a second time coming back up. With the sun and all that blue sky (and water), it's perfect weather for a drive over the Bixby Canyon Bridge and beyond.
Every corner is a scenic photo opportunity so there's lots of stopping. What better way to soak it all up?
We love the smells that waft in through our windows along the way — the redwood forest, the sea, the flowers that line the roads with colour, the burritos that we stop to pick up for lunch.... Hey, wait a minute...
Heading back to Monterey, rain sweeps in and gives us a different perspective of the coast to appreciate. One thing is for sure, this coast is just as lovely in the rain.
