Fig. 1Bixby headlands at dusk
A steep collision of the Santa Lucia Mountains and the Pacific. Sea cliffs, hanging waterfalls, and a thin coastal terrace.
McWay Falls drops onto a pocket beach inside a cove. Bixby Canyon Bridge stitches the highway to the headlands. Marine layer and golden grass trade the light all afternoon.
