Currently, Highway 1 is not open. You can take Highway 101 as a detour. The road conditions are good, but there are a lot of cars.

It's easy to walk, but scenic spots need to be guided in sections, otherwise you will deviate from Highway 1. But there is a section of the road from Monterey to San Simeon that is closed.

The most beautiful part of the Highway 1 is the coastal road from Monterey to the south, but it can only be driven for a certain distance. From the town of Carmel, driving south for 80 kilometers, the road is closed. You can either return to Monterey on the 101 highway along the original way or take a mountain road back to the 101 highway at a distance of 8 kilometers south of the closure. The mountain road is not as easy to drive as the original return road, so you need to drive slowly. Both returns take one and a half to two hours, but the scenery is very beautiful.

The United States is very large, and every time you go somewhere it's different. This summer, I went to Yellowstone and chose an SUV, but I regretted it because the high center of gravity made it tilt heavily on the mountain roads... and all the roads were paved, so if you don't have a need for a lot of luggage, don't choose an SUV. Last year, I rented a BMW 4 Series to drive around the Grand Canyon area and it felt great. I stayed in Yellowstone for 5 days, 2 days at Old Faithful, 2 days at Canyon, and 1 day at Yellowstone Lake. The itinerary was not tight, so I just played around and drove all the roads in Yellowstone. Accommodation in Yellowstone is expensive, and the itinerary was not optimized, but the gas prices were cheaper than in the Bay Area. As for cash and credit cards, to be honest, I haven't used much cash in recent years. I only keep cash for tips. Throughout the trip, I only used cash once at a strange restaurant in Salt Lake City for one night, and also used cash to send postcards at the Yellowstone post office. Everything else was done with credit cards, including self-service gas and meals. It was surprising to find out at a gas station in Carson City that they explicitly did not accept VISA credit cards and had to use a MasterCard. I remembered trying credit cards at gas stations in Utah and San Diego last year, and this year's experience was really different, as many gas stations have upgraded ? United States Q&A
