Content: Cold Spring Canyon Bridge
Between Auburn in the far north and Placer County in the south sits California's Central Coast, which stretches along the Pacific Coast Highway from Monterey County through Santa Barbara County. This area of California holds a couple of the state's tallest bridges, including the Cold Spring Canyon Bridge in Santa Barbara. The structure stands at a height of 400 feet, crossing a forested ravine with a two-lane roadway. The bridge has sparked discussion surrounding mental health since its 1963 construction, because as many as five people a year have gone to the bridge to commit suicide. In response to the deaths, a barrier was installed along the sides of the bridge in 2012. Travel Tips Video
