Bixby Bridge
This iconic Big Sur picture shows Bixby Bridge, one of the world's highest single-span concrete arch bridges at 260 feet high and 700 feet long. These days, it's called Bixby Bridge, but it's had other names: Bixby Creek Bridge, Bixby's Bridge, Mill Creek Bridge, or Rainbow Bridge. The name "Bixby" is for Charles Henry Bixby, an early Big Sur settler.
