Mist over Bixby Bridge. Another favorite stop on the Pacific Coast Highway. •• Word of advice to those attempting to make the drive: it is so, so much longer than you expect. So leave adequate time. •• The road winds a lot, and ceases to be a true highway in plenty of places, so your trip goes slower than you might think. But it doesn't matter because of all the gorgeous sights on your way (which make the trip take longer when you're stopping for photos). . . . .
