I'm going on a trip! I'm taking advantage of the fact I live in California and am driving up the most scenic route in the state - CA-1, or highway 1, or just... "The One".
Are you looking for ideas as to where to stop and how to plan your own trip up or down the 1? Check out my itinerary below! I'm starting in LA and stopping in Solvang, San Luis Obispo, Big Sur, Carmel by the Sea, Monterey, Santa Cruz AND San Francisco. I'll be vlogging the entire trip, so if you're interested in knowing what the different stopping points look like, stay tuned!
