Hiking destination #1 was Bixby Bridge. This is a very famous and heavily photographed bridge about 10 miles north of our campsite.

There were people down on the beach below the bridge, and we really wanted to figure out how to get down there. As far as we could tell the only way down was a steep hike down the cliff, and we didn’t feel comfortable leading the dogs down it. Another thing I find funny is that there are benches in the middle of the bridge where you can sit down, but there isn’t really any good place to walk on the bridge to get there. There is no sidewalk and, given the traffic, no real shoulder to speak of; there is certainly no place to park.
