USA Road Trip - Highway 1 and San Fran Sun

Rugged coastal cliffs, waterfalls crashing into the sea, and small seaside towns, what’s not to like? This short but sweet four-day trip has it all plus a whole lot more as you travel up the California coast from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Check out the chill vibes in Santa Monica, drive through mist and forests along the 17-Mile route on the Monterey Peninsula, and see redwoods along Half Moon Bay. There will be no shortage of beautiful scenery and fun activities along the way. The perfect mini getaway!
