Pacific Coast Highway, California

The beauty of the Pacific Coastline is breath taking.  A mixture of rugged shorelines, sandy beaches, unique wildlife, beautiful canyons, spectacular redwood forests, and meandering rivers kept us in awe for the entire week we spent camping along the Central California coastline.  We covered 1,300 miles.  and took 123 pictures which you can view by clicking on the links below. 

We saw the largest aquarium in the world, the tallest covered bridge in the United States, some of the tallest trees in the world, one of the most prominent of the California missions, and a display of wildlife, which included sea otters, sea lions, harbor seals, elephant seals, deer, and bobcat.
