Pacific Coast Highway - California Edition This trip was incredible and one I had dreamt of taking for years! Growing up on the east coast it was amazing to see how much our coastlines differ. We spent 2 weeks driving the coast and dare I say it wasn’t enough time! One of the coolest parts was seeing how much the coastline changes from Southern California to Northern California. Although I loved every minute, I would probably say my favorite part was once we got above San Francisco as the views were absolutely breathtaking! Stops along the PCH And detours inland: • Started in Santa Monica • Malibu • Channel Islands National Park • Santa Barbara • Solvang - Danish Village 45min inland from Santa Barbara • Pismo Beach • Morro Bay • Hearst Castle **PCH is currently closed between Hearst Castle and Big Sur from a landslide so you have to detour inland then back down to Big Sur which makes the next few stops seem out of order** • Pinnacles National Park - detour inland; 2hrs from Hearst Castle • Monterey • McWay Falls in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park • Big Sur • Carmel by the Sea • San Francisco • Point Reyes National Seashore • Glass Beach, Fort Bragg • Chandelier Drive thru tree • Avenue of the Giants - more scenic route than PCH to surround yourself with redwoods • Redwoods National and State Parks #travel #travelvlog #californiatravel #placestovisit #placestotravel #bucketlisttravel #pacificcoasthighway #PCH #socaladventures #roadtrip #vanlife #traveltok #westcoast #fyp

To travel Pacific Highway 101 has been on my bucket list for many years. I finally got to drive on the iconic highway finally! It was an AWESOME drive with beautiful ocean front scenery, small quaint towns with really cool and interesting shops and eateries! I wish I could have done this 20 years ago when there were not as much people and traffic. There was a lot of people and traffic in every little town that we passed. Overall beautiful...

This was a bucket list ride for me and I took it all the way into Oregon by way of San Diego. It's a great ride with a lot of stop and go traffic in the beginning. As I continued up the coast and away from LA I stopped at several beach fronts and saw so many things than...
