Best drive I've ever took in my life!!!! Do it
I did that amazing trip from San Francisco to LA... as I made so many other wonderful trips... in Africa... in Europe and of course in USA... I'm a very lucky world citizen... With 81 y. O. I've travelling allover the world and working every where.... Thank God and to myself...
Just took this drive and it is one of the greatest things I've done in my life.
Ditto !
+johnny t Great to hear. Your next stop then is the Swiss Alps or Italy.
+EWS e-web-solutions Yes, both of those are on my bucket list. Can't wait.
Did you guys go from south to north or north to south?
If you ever have to drive from SF to LA, do yourself a favour and take the highway 1 at least one time in your life. Although the drive is about 10-11 hours long, it's worth it.
i did a school trip all the way from San Diego to San Fran all by the coastal highway, it's beautiful.
Omg luckyyy!
Hi, I so agree
If you can believe I stumbled upon it. Nothing will ever be the same.
This is one of the breathtaking roads in the world! I love the view of Big Sur's
Bixby Creek Bridge - perfect for my drone footage!
I dont live in Cali so I'm gonna have to stick to viewing the pch on gta for now.
This is on my bucket list.
I absolutely agree that the PCH is the most beautiful thing on Earth. However, I would advise to take the road from Santa Barbara to San Francisco because it gets more and more exciting with every small town and the coast is getting more and more gorgeous on the way to the North. If you go down from San Fran then nothing would look more exciting after seeing the Big Sur.. Ahhh love this place!
Zauresh Amanzholova 👍👌Danke schön
No One in the area calls Hiway 1 PCH. No One.
Additionally it is San Francisco.. not San Fran. disrespectful.
Pacific coast highway is so beautiful. It has some amazing views. Im glad im in California.
Great video. But...a couple of corrections.
While it is commonly called the PCH that only exists from Ventura County and south.
The San Andreas fault is nowhere near Carmel, you have to go inland about 100 miles.
As others have mentioned the s in Luis is not silent.
The scenes part of 1 is north from San Luis Obispo, it does overlap US 101 for a while but is separate from Pismo Beach south to near Santa Barbara on the way to LA.
1 north of the Golden Gate Bridge is also a great road but just like the southern portion is not fast.
Cal. 1 and US 101 join in Northern California and mostly hug the coast. 1 of course ends at the Oregon border but 101 continues all the way to Olympia, Washington and is just as spectacular.
If you are in a hurry to drive between Seattle and LA or San Diego take Interstate 5 but be prepared to be mind numbingly bored for most of the southern half of that road.
I really want to take this drive! The scenery is so beautiful!
I'm glad you did not cover another secret spot along that stretch. One also offering precious stones.
Wonderful drive, but it's not called PCH in this area. It's the Cabrillo Highway, or just Route One
Drove the 1 from Pismo to monteray last night and I tell you it was eerrie ! No other cars on the road ,no cell phone service, narrow and wyndy roads , no radio and once you pass San simion there is no alternate route ! Definitely an experience at night didn't even realize I passed up such beautiful spots as to it was so dark I couldn't see 15' ahead of me ! If your gonna drive this make sure its in the day lol 😂
I told a friend to do this drive and had credit at the Ventana Inn at Big Sur, which I gave to him. He drove it at night with the fog and told me it was the scariest drive he has ever driven. Take it during the day!
In Big Sur, stop at Nepenthe, Big Sur Bakery, or Big Sur River Inn (and dine on the side of the river during the summer).
Fill up your gas tank in Monterey or Carmel.
Don't fill up the gas tank in big sur unless you want to pay an additional $1.00/ gallon.
mrcain Right they were skanks for trying to horn swogle people like that aye!
one of our favorite spots is the Ventana Inn which has hilltop patio dining with amazing views...
I did the San Francisco - LA route on the Pacific Coast Highway and the views were magnificent!
PCH (1) goes through mountains too. So too does I-70 and U.S.40 in Colorado
.
Did this about a month ago. It was amazing
IM GOING NEXT WEEK OMG IM EXCITED! WERE GOING TO SAN FRANCISCO THEN LA AND CAMPING IN THE BIG SUR
COAST = concentrate on a safe trip
thanks dean
So helpful! Thank you for posting!
Puro
Wonderful travelog, ladies! Beautiful photos, and perfect editing. Really takes me back. Thanks for sharing!
My girlfriend and I gonna do this, starting tomorrow.
Would it be okay to make the trip up around first week of December? or will it be rainy by then?
+Dennis Pena - It rains in December and not January generally. Then heavy rain in February...so it is always hit and miss. But I can tell you one thing... unlike the Pacific Northwest, the sun shines in Cali between rainfalls.
been there twice and can't wait to go again... Carmel has to be one of my favourite places on earth! One place you can stop between Big Sur and Hearst Castle is Ragged Point Inn and Resort. You can get gas and supplies there and have a gourmet lunch on an outdoor patio! Hearst Castle is a must see! Morro Rock is a highlight as is Pismo Beach! As you say there is so much more that you guys could have mentioned but people need to make the drive and discover it for themselves! nice vid!
McWay waterfalls with Beautiful music, Feel the beauty within yourself ! : McWay waterfall, Big Sur, CA
On my list😉
great video thanks
fascinating
Pacific Coastal Highway is excellent to visit all times of the year. And definitely check out Route 23! Swurve city!
split it off 3 parts first from northern C.A.pass Mendocino county to Marin county 2nd from San Francisco to Monterrey bay 3rd from Carmel by the sea pass Big sur and finish at half moon bay all stunning scenic and ocean view.
Did the trip about 35 years ago and the Big Sur State Beach was nudist. We also went inland around Napa Valley where they had a restaurant famous for the super big portions of steak....forgot the name. The best part is the first few hours going south from SF. Going north from Santa Barbara the first 8 hours are beautiful but redundant. This video had perfect excerpts.
went there a year ago wonderful everyone should go
Oh yeah forgot to mention Hearse castle and lone Cypress are extremely popular and hard to enjoy, lone Cypress good luck finding a parking spot and the castle? Better make reservations paid upfront of course.
70 miles apart.
@@jeffhildreth9244 what does the distance has to do with my post? Cheers 🍻
I was there in October ...awesome
The Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge south of Big Sur will reopen on October 13th. It's taken two years to replace it after it was damaged beyond repair by landslides.
Recommend you continue south sticking with Hwy 1 PCH to Malibu where you eventually end in Santa Monica.
Oh, okay cool. I didn't know that. One bridge I really like is the Izeh Bridge, Khuzestan, Iran. I've been there and it's great. I also like the roads in California.
Wow!😮
what's this all abooot?
Been to California so many times. This area I've always wanted to visit. But , money always runs out and have to get back to the east coast. It's ugly here on the east coast.
For no wonder it's so dreadfully expensive in this area, for why would any body In their right mind ever want to live anywhere else but here on the west coast. Truly since I was a young lad, I always tried to be a surfer, and this coastline is absolutely breath taking and " there's always a feeling that I get , when I look to the west ' , for the Piper is alwaus leading me there." Oh o whoa , the Piper is always leading me there. Look at how beautiful , magnificent and wonderous this place is. Definitely heaven on this Earth . Now, I'm old and money is little to nill, I will never be able to get back to any of this west coast to even dream in reality of getting there. I'm sad for just to admit that to myself is very sad.
very nice :)
Amazing!! i cant wait!!!
I've done that trip. Beautiful
Go, Pete, Go!
I live there!
love it
it's beautiful, eh?
it will change your life
Stop at Point Lobos and hike.
Thinking about flying to Vancouver and driving south, maneuvering through Seattle, Portland, and the West Coast down to San Diego. How long would a trip like that take, assuming a few days were spent in significant locations?
One week I did Vancouver Boise salt lake grand Canyon Vegas death valley Yosemite San Fran & up the COAST through Oregon in under. a week
+M-K-L - * I would allow half the summer. Take the mileage and divide into sections of 300 miles. Realize that on an open road most trips are based on 600 miles a day. Here you have a coastline and a need for your tourist stops. (6 weeks)
To whom ever decides to drive down California, and you see the 5 as an option, i kid you not, just because it's shorter, doesn't mean it'll feel shorter, it's boring as sin and nothing to see, PCH will feel so much faster and it's so much prettier
I wholeheartedly concur ! PCH is the world's best kept secret especially highway 1 north of San Francisco and up through the Redwoods in to the Lost Coast along Mattole road. And of course Oregon's 101
im doing this tomorrow, and reading everyones warnings that i should not do it in 1 day is making me very nervous and fearful. i was tempted to scrap the whole thing and take the 5 hr drive, im going by myself with no one to really keep me company, and im not really planning on stopping. but reading this comment before i head to bed makes me feel so much better. im just going to start early and do it as planned. thank you for this!!
lol warrior wow I can’t believe it’s been a year already. First of all...with re-routes, and stops to stretch and grab food, it took me like 12 hours. I also like to pull over and take pics tho and stop at little road side stands so keep that in mind. I did opt for the PCH and let me tell you something. Once that highway opened up to the pacific I actually kid you not lost my breath. It was an unbelievably magnificent view, and one I think about all the time. It was a truly cathartic drive and I’ll never forget it.
lol warrior that’s awesome. I think the day I drove, there was a huge landslide near Big Sur, so I had to take an eastern highway for 2/3 of the way 😖🥴🥴
Also if you go north on the 1 the ocean is way down and you are way up, very scary
Check out my Highway 1 video! We took the trip on motorcycles, hope you like it.

Do not pronounce it "San Looey Obispo" because that's wrong!
xygomorphic44 Seriously. Also, from what I've read one is not suppose to take stones from the beach.
If you are from the area it is in fact San Looey Obispo
i went to big sur, california and made a video about my trip! It would mean a lot if you checked it out! On The Road I California Edition
love to drive this in a T-Bucket Rod
Machine Gun Nest You T Bagged a Rod??
Northbound is the way to go. You are farther from the dangerous side and everyone else flew into San Francisco and rented cars to go south.
My husband was born in Carmel, California.....but, left when he was less than a year old.....we really need to make this trip some day.
That is a terrible move to make. Carmel is heaven on earth.
@@johnjingleheimer4416 Both my daughters were born in Carmel.
Whew, glad they left out my county.
Nice
Every time I see "Pacific Coast Highway" I think about the Hole song.
Same!
There just not to many tubes about the mainland. Most are tube are humor, pets, pranks, car, races. Or fishing but about exploring almost none.
Watch this fantastic Pacific Coast Highway slide show of some great PCHW Photos! ua-cam.com/video/sgXDyYvi7fg/v-deo.html
I m an indian and the only way i can relate to this is roadrash XD
Here I am, still waiting for my green card.
Done the drive(in december).. and it's nice for about 30 minutes...then it just becomes the same over and over..
***** Then you don't have much of an appreciation for natural beauty. What's the same over and over is driving down the faster highways in the central valley where the entire landscape has been stripped of its natural beauty in favor of farmlands.
Chris Jenkins It's taking a lot LESS time. If i want to go to point B from point A i want to do it as fast as possible.. i would go there to relax but as a drive.. it's slow.. and the same over and over.. sure it's great if that is what you want to do.. but to drive from SF to LA and it takes a lot longer... it's just annoying..
yeah very annoying!
it's beautifull, I just returned home. But to say that it is the most beautifull in the world is a clear indication of not knowing the world. For example South Island New Zealand is so much better and although a complete different drive Utah has so much more to offer compared to pac 1.
Arjen du Gardijn its probably the most beautiful in USA thats for damn sure. But I agree. Pacific Coast Highway in Cali is nothing compared to NZ, its like a low budget NZ.
NAME OFTHIHIGHWAY?
High Way 1.
ohohohoooooooooooooooh
This is so the 90
Believe it or not, we have roads in Oregon also. Check out US 101. Lots more impressive than California Coast!
So true,,,Oregon has the most incredible bridges....trees, rocky coast....Oregon coast is also owned by the citizens of Oregon, you can walk it north to south and no one will stop you....
I'm sorry, but Oregon just sucks.
Oregonians thank you.....stay where you are please...
+Penny Wells you are most welcome. You are also welcome to visit us any time :)
Actually I was born in California....but have lived in Oregon my whole life...even went to Alaska...I love where I live...we all should....
Afraid of a little competition???
#even
I notice an UFO at 4:06 -4:17
This isn't special if you've seen the amazing roads in Iran. Some of them if go through mountains.
jooj
first L
thirth
i ride my bike there
GTA V
Well someone needs to rename that road because the Pacific Northwest does not include California
+Kc Carr The Oregon Hillbilly Hilton Well this highway got its name because It rolls along the COAST of the PACIFIC ocean.
+Trenton Blackwell ok good to know
