Exploring California’s Highway 1 Made Easy

L.A.-based Big Sur Road Trip has launched a narrated audio guide for travellers driving along California’s epic Highway 1.

“For many travellers, Big Sur is a ‘bucket list’ trip where the drive itself is the destination,” said co-founder, producer and narrator Kate Marcin. “Planning a road trip can be overwhelming, so we created the audio guide to help fellow travellers explore and connect with this special region.”

The guide features 21 unique audio tracks that recommend where to go and what to see along the 85-mile drive between San Simeon and Monterey, including famous landmarks such as Bixby Creek Bridge, Hearst Castle, McWay Falls and Pebble Beach’s Lone Cypress tree.

The guide is designed for travellers seeking immersive and local experiences.

“With the rugged Santa Lucia Mountains, redwood forests and Pacific Ocean setting the scene, we wanted to tell a story that creates a memorable ‘you are here’ moment for California road trippers,” added Marcin.

The guide also includes an illustrated souvenir map with navigation and planning tips.
