A nearly 900-mile stretch of California coastal highway unexpectedly reopened on January 14 ― ahead of the estimated March reopening date ― after three years of closures from massive landslides that decimated the road.
This scenic, windy drive features Big Sur, the iconic area stretching from Cambria to Carmel. The reopening is reconciling communities, bringing much-needed relief to local businesses, and inspiring a boom in the flow of goods and services along this vibrant corridor.
As a California transplant, it has always been my dream to road-trip the coast. On a recent weekend, my dream came to fruition ― and I learned you can do it in a day!
