Big Sur Partially CLOSED! (How to See & Photograph It)

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

Thanks for the trip in the sunshine. I’ve done the whole drive twice - both times in the rain!

[@PhotowalksTV]

Thanks Michael--I haven't had that experience. Those windy roads must have been a challenge!

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

@ Not so much windy as slick.

[@obear1]

my most memorable ride was southbound from Arcata; rain from Ft Bragg to Santa Maria 🙃

[@BevSantini]

Was fortunate to make the journey 3 years ago. An iconic bucket list adventure! Stunning

[@PhotowalksTV]

Great to hear from you again Bev! Thanks for chiming in.

[@scubadave48]

Loved the photos. I did this trip once from Big Sur to Monterrey….Big Sur Marathon !!

[@PhotowalksTV]

Thanks--that must have been fun!

Good Video Jefferson! Cambria is definitely worth a stop on the south end of Big Sur!

[@PhotowalksTV]

Couldn’t agree more! I slept in Cambria during the filming of the video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3awfXeDfrB3h9E

always a great drive even with a road closure. Pretty sad with how quiet those towns are. Great video as always.

[@PhotowalksTV]

Thanks Jan! Most of Big Sur still incredible--just a little harder to get to!

[@obear1]

my ride from Santa Monica to Arcata was four times a year from 78 to 99 😎 nowadays it’s from Albany to Boise! 👍 thanks Jefferson! ✨ great memories

[@PhotowalksTV]

Albany CA or NY?

[@ToddfromLA]

Great episode highlighting Highway 1. Drove up to Cambria today to spend a few nights and visit with the elephant seals.

[@PhotowalksTV]

@@ToddfromLA I bet it’s amazing, don’t forget to stop by Lin’s for pie! Thanks so much for the kind words😜

[@peterevans3229]

Just saw you on The Easy Reader - well done sir!

[@PhotowalksTV]

Thank you Peter--really appreciate it. Are you a South Bay Easy Reader regular?

[@peterevans3229]

@ - yes sir - every day from their email(s)

[@johnmackin46]

Is there any estimate as to when the road might be open the entire length?

[@PhotowalksTV]

Caltrains says some time in 2025. That’s the best I got! www.sunset.com/travel/highway-1-closure-until-2025#:~:text=Camping-,The%20Iconic%20Highway%201%20Through%20Big%20Sur%20Won't%20Reopen,California%20road%20needs%20further%20repairs.

A great spot on the south part of highway 1 is Redwood Gulch. There is no trail. You hike directly in the steep canyon bottom.. Its like being in land-of-the-giants, The canyon is lined with giant boulders and majestic Redwoods. You're scrambling over huge boulders, doing log walks on giant fallen redwoods to cross pools of water and crawling under other fallen Redwoods. Its about 20 miles north of San Simeon. There are no signs, but a large pull out. Its so unique that I once took 9 friends on a day trip to hike it.

[@PhotowalksTV]

I’ll have to check it out next time!

Drones are NOT allowed in Big Sur so putting a disclaimer is helpful to stop folks from getting fined.

[@familybento4229]

And please don't encourage people to walk across the bridge.

[@familybento4229]

There is NO access up Coast road anymore either.
