Road trip to San Francisco [13-14 Oct]

California State Route 1

State Route 1, more often called Highway 1, is a state highway that runs along much of the Pacific coast of the U.S. state of California. It is famous for running along some of the most beautiful coastlines in the world, leading to its designation as an All-American Road.

Highway 1 starts at Interstate 5 (I-5) in Orange County before traveling along the western edge of Los Angeles County, passing through Santa Monica and Malibu. The highway continues north, at times running concurrently with U.S. Highway 101 (U.S. 101), and is a scenic alternative in several locations. Highway 1 runs through Ventura County, San Luis Obispo County, Monterey County, Santa Cruz County, and then enters the San Francisco Bay Area at San Mateo County and finally traverses the city of San Francisco itself.

Highway 1 has several portions designated as either Pacific Coast Highway (PCH), the Cabrillo Highway,[2] the Shoreline Highway, or the Coast Highway and is part of Pacific Coastal Highway.




















Above the clouds? Nope, it's the mist.
