Route 1 was the most fantastic, thrilling and beautiful drive we’ve ever taken. The scenery was magnificent, mountains and ocean – it seemed like everywhere we turned, there was one spot that was more beautiful than the other. I ran out of superlatives.
This was taken from Route 1 overlooking the California Sea Otter Game Refuge. There was a rocky, misty island off the coast – it looked very ominous with all the barbed wire and NO TRESPASSING signs.
Good thing there were so many stops for photo ops. One sharp climb or descent after another, with sharp, narrow turns and blinding sun – I was getting more than a little nauseous.
