Highway 1, Big Sur California

This is possibly one of the most famous ones on the list. Starting from the central Californian coastline right through Big Sur, it runs from the gorgeous San Simeon to the equally stunning Carmel expect perilously dangerous cliff drops with unbelievable views and sudden glimpses of the entire pacific ocean in all its glory, not to mention the dark, intense rocks that speckle each side of the road.

It has simply awful peak traffic hours during which you should definitely avoid this highway but this bird's eye view is worth catching even when your bumper is knocking another.
