Highway 1 has two lanes, 33 bridges and enough air below the roadway to lead one Web site to call it “122 miles of vertigo” — but its beauty is worth the risk. The road winds its way along the cliffs of the California coastline, right next to the Pacific Ocean; around Big Sur, the drop is around 1,000 feet. Highway 1 is widely considered one of the most beautiful roads in the world, and it’s been designated an “All-American Road” by the Transportation Department.
