A gem right in the middle of California and you captured it very well. I love visiting Monterey, but many call it boring compared to other more active beach cities. Lets hope it stay's 'boring'.
@@Nicole-tp3fn Oh you have not been here yet?! Yes put it on your bucket list! Just south is Point Lobos State Natural Reserve....whoa...stunning hikes with beautiful scenery. Combine the 2 when you are there. Oh also, you can rent electric bikes in Monterey for the 7-mile area and skip the park fee. Its a fun way to see 7 mile.
We're going to Monterey, California, passing such beautiful landscapes along the way. A wide road and the power of impressions . Monterey bay is a bay of the Pacific Ocean.
Thank you so much for this comment, and especially for sharing. That helps me out a lot! It's such a beautiful area. Glad you had a chance to experience it!
Thank you very much for posting! The views are amazing! I’m planing to take a trip to San Francisco this September, thank you pointing out all the beautiful landscaping names. Will you let me know if lone cypress is hard to park please?
There are around 15 parking spots at Lone Cypress so it all depends on how many people are visiting. We rented electric bikes one day and toured the entire 17-mile drive. You skip the park fee when riding in on a bike. Its a great way to see and get a feel of the area.
Can't sleep, up whether want to or not - no whudda mean... Got this on for the sound and the sights aren't so bad neither. Man-O-Man have driven all over this continent and can think of a thousand Drive's just like this all over, everyone just as beautiful as another. This is nice, but you go up by Oregon, mm-mm-mmm! Drives are something, like there're been times can get a buzz on the beauty - make you feel so mellow, e.g., in Virginia or eastern Tennessee, that whole area. Like was up in Maine once, along the coast there... Just as beautiful. A lot of times just having the open road like in Kansas, you wouldn't think it's great right off, but you go along Hwy 34 traveling thru all these small towns going west into Colorado, in the afternoon - that was like drugs, like a pain killer, put you in a trance.
That’s Bird Rock actually out there. Seal rock is the beach that you drove past a few hundred yards back. Bird rock is white because it’s covered in bird poop. Hehe. 15:00
Yeah I know. :(( I missed this before I published the video on UA-cam. The thing that sucks about UA-cam is that you cannot make any changes to your video once it is up. If I change it, then I have to re-post it as a new video and lose all of its analytics. I think I will add the error in the description. At least Seal Rock and Bird Rock are right next to each other. Not a huge mistake if the viewers want to head out and see this beautiful area. You are the only one that has caught this so far. Wish I had a prize for you.
@@ToddKortte it just caught my attention because I’ve driven by it so many times over the years. I really enjoyed the footage by the way. The only reason I wanted to mention the rock was because of it’s snow capped - glacial appearance, and what makes it so. Thanks for posting the video.
@@n.s.3410 It's such a beautiful part of America. I hope people at home, that don't have the time to visit this area, can get a good idea of what the drive is like. You are lucky to have access to this area for so many times. Thank you for your comments, and for the correction on Bird Rock. I added a note in the description to let people know this is Bird Rock and Not Seal Rock.
Todd Kortte thank you. Liked your - video #1👌just beach & no talk ...👍. Visited 10 years ago but still wonder about this place & America system. " An billionaire, your money bought & own a beach. And selling a tickets to people who want to visit this 17 mile beach??
Beautiful! Once you enter, how long is the 17 mile drive? Heading to Monterey this morning for a surprise get away for my husband and I would love to stop by this trail❤
Parking is limited. A really nice way to see this area is to rent electric bikes in Monterey. You can ride along the road and get a good look at it all. You also skip the park entrance fee.
Yes, no problem. The drive is slow and there are plenty of spots to pull over and take a break. Heights are fine too. Take it one step at a time. 95% of the place does not have a steep drop anywhere.
AWESOME; and thanks for posting! I spent several years there as a linguist with military intelligence, and subsequently as a tennis pro. It's difficult to not miss such a place. Thanks again for this tremendous video!
Thank you, my favorite were the areas shown in the first 12 min! Gorgeous... different weather made for different experiences in theses same areas. You can also rent bike and ride around without paying the park fee. Real nice bike ride.
Thank you liking my video and leaving a comment, I really appreciate it. I used a GoPro hero9 to record this. Its a great camera. The video stabilization on the Hero9 is amazing.
BMW. I had a GoPro suction cupped to the roof. We also rented electric bikes and rode this area. i highly recommend that. You get to skip the park fee, and its also a great way to see this area.

As I sit here and drink my coffee, it really brings me back to being here for a nice summer day. Thank you
Was just there 2 weeks ago.... absolutely breathtaking
One of the most scenic and beautiful drive. Was there once and it was unforgettable.....
I completely agree. It is such a beautiful drive!
A gem right in the middle of California and you captured it very well. I love visiting Monterey, but many call it boring compared to other more active beach cities. Lets hope it stay's 'boring'.

I've always wanted to see the Oregon coast. I've heard so much about it!

Only two hours away from me 😯
Im from there I miss it
Been 30 years
I am so glad you were able to find this video and see it again! Thank you for leaving a comment!
@@ToddKortte Thank YOU for making this video😀❤
Beautiful! Once you enter, how long is the 17 mile drive? Heading to Monterey this morning for a surprise get away for my husband and I would love to stop by this trail❤
17 miles. There is a park fee to enter. If you are riding a bike there is no fee.
@@ToddKortte We went yesterday! It was BEAUTIFUL!!!
@@HD-ud1dy I always rent electric bikes from this place. bikebigsur.com/
Amazin😍
Thank you for leaving a comment!
OMG!!!
Yeah this area is really beautiful, glad you enjoyed the video!
@@ToddKortte looks like i will have to visit
Is there ample parking to get off and enjoy sights?
Parking is limited. A really nice way to see this area is to rent electric bikes in Monterey. You can ride along the road and get a good look at it all. You also skip the park entrance fee.
What time of the year was this? Thanks for sharing...
Thank you, I shot this December of 2020.
Would you recommend this drive for someone that gets motion sickness and is afraid of heights?
Yes, no problem. The drive is slow and there are plenty of spots to pull over and take a break. Heights are fine too. Take it one step at a time. 95% of the place does not have a steep drop anywhere.
Great video Todd. This place is heavenly. We visited the 17 Mile Drive recently, on a week day, and it wasn't crowded.
Oh thats great it wasn't crowded! Such a gorgeous place isn't it?! Thank you for leaving a comment!
😃😍🤩
beautiful for sure
Taking a trip to Monterey and trying to figure out which entrance to take? I heard there are a few starting points? Anyone know where to begin?
Rent an electric bike at Cannery row and go from there. Its a great way to see it all and you skip the park fee.
AWESOME; and thanks for posting! I spent several years there as a linguist with military intelligence, and subsequently as a tennis pro. It's difficult to not miss such a place. Thanks again for this tremendous video!
Wow you have some amazing history in this area! Thank you so much for your comment! Really means a lot!
The first song sounds very similar to Bron-Yr-Aur by Led Zeppelin
Which gate did you enter?
I don't remember.
Beutiful footage, todd! What did you like the most about your trip? I like to travel as well and id like to invite you to my journey!!
Thank you, my favorite were the areas shown in the first 12 min! Gorgeous... different weather made for different experiences in theses same areas. You can also rent bike and ride around without paying the park fee. Real nice bike ride.
I love it! 2019 my husband and i visited Monterey. 😍. Which Camera did you use ? The quality is stunning!!!
Thank you liking my video and leaving a comment, I really appreciate it. I used a GoPro hero9 to record this. Its a great camera. The video stabilization on the Hero9 is amazing.
How long does it take to drive and stop by vista point through 17 mile drive?
Depends on what Vista Point you are referring to. There are a lot of Vista Points in California.
Can we see what vehicle you are driving please? 😇
BMW. I had a GoPro suction cupped to the roof. We also rented electric bikes and rode this area. i highly recommend that. You get to skip the park fee, and its also a great way to see this area.
