We drove from San Francisco to la and it was literally the most breathtaking scenes I’ve ever seen. So much natural nature that hasn’t been misused. I won’t lie, the drive was a bit scary due to how high up we were and some thin roads but worthit. We’re planning on going again this summer

I drove down the Pacific Highway as much as I can from Northern Oregon to Los Angeles about a decade ago. It was a beautiful trip and I recommend it for your bucket list. There were so many things and places to see and you won't regret it.

One of the best reviews for touring this amazing coastal highway I've ever seen! I'm glad you didn't leave out Hearst Castle - it's an incredible place from a magical time in California history. I would add one thing, though...start the journey a bit farther north in the magnificent redwood forest. There is no place like it in the world, and no trip along the California coast would be complete without it.

Thank you so much, I‘m glad you like the video! I agree, the only reason I didn‘t add that is that I didn‘t want it to be too long. Maybe I‘ll do another video about the northern part in the future :)

Hello from a local! Definitely agree to take your time if you want to do the entire drive from San Francisco to San Diego. I wouldn’t recommend driving Pacific Coast Highway at night, or in some cases in the early morning due to the fog. Also you will want to pull over and take pictures along the coast, but if you do PLEASE stand back from the edge of the cliff. Many places along Pacific Coast Highway don’t have a barrier, and the places that do have them for a reason.

Just did this trip a week ago. It was fantastic and beautiful. Although I did miss exploring Monterey and Santa Barbara. San Simeon and The Hearst Castle is a must attraction to visit. But, too much to see and do along the way and not enough time to do it all. This drive is highly recommended at least once in your lifetime.

That was really well done and I'm so glad you really appreciate the coast. at some of your stops, I'm sure you saw some of the social challenges that CA and the US struggles with. Thanks for not ganging up on California like so many productions are doing. Newcomers might be surprised to see some of the personal struggles that exists but the beauty is still here.

Me and the missus just drove a Dodge Challenger from Los Angeles to San Francisco for my 40th birthday. Many people say to drive from north to south as the views are better as youre closer to the edge, but I would disagree. You can pull over wherever you like, and have the same views from the other side of the road. I would also suggest that you visit Pismo beach, absolutely stunning. And also monterey was great for seeing humpback whales on a whale watching trip and nearby to Laguna Seca if you love motorsport.

Thank you so much! The weather is best from April to October, but Big Sur is also the most crowded during this time. I would suggest Spring or Winter: In Spring you‘ll see the blooming wildflowers, and in Winter you might see orcas or gray whales in the ocean.

@travelthetop Жыл бұрын
You won’t be able to do the whole trip in one day… Is your flight already booked? Where are you going? LA or SF? My favorite part of the trip is Big Sur, but I think while you can go there, you still can’t drive all the way through (there’s a road closure after some damage…). So it all depends where you’re going.
