On 18 April 2023, my mom and I drove along State Route 1 in Monterey County, CA. We visited Garrapata State Park and Bixby Creek Bridge. I took photos with my cellphones and mirrorless camera. The photos are split into 3 blog posts. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!

These photos were shot on my Olympus mirrorless camera. The photos are from Bixby Creek Bridge and Coast Road in Monterey County, CA. After Garrapata State Park, my mom and I drove towards Bixby Creek Bridge, which was the last stop for the day before we headed home. I also took a short walk on Coast Road (near Bixby Creek Bridge).
Please note Coast Road was closed on the day I went, and I did walk into the closed area. There was a small, but constant flow of sand, small pebbles, and small rocks coming down on parts of the rock face. This is risky, and the road is closed for a reason. If you walk onto the road, please assess the risks yourself before walking into a closed area. You access closed areas at your own risk. You could become trapped under a rockslide or your return path could be blocked off by a rockslide. You could die!
