Day 2 Atascadero - Elephant Seal Vista Point - Hearst Castle - Solvang - Santa Barbara - Los Angeles (247 miles)

Day 1: San Jose - Monterey - Carmel-by-the-Sea - Big Sur - Bixby Creek Bridge - Paso Robles - Atascadero (198 miles)

Depart from San Jose and journey along California’s spectacular Pacific Coast Highway. Visit Monterey and charming Carmel-by-the-Sea, enjoy breathtaking Big Sur scenery and the iconic Bixby Creek Bridge, then continue to the wine country of Paso Robles for an overnight stay in Atascadero.

Monterey, CA

Monterey was the capital of Alta California under both Spain and Mexico. It was the only port of entry for taxable goods in California. In 1846 the U.S. flag was raised over the Customs House, and California became part of the United States after the ensuing Mexican-American War.
Big Sur, CA

Big Sur is a rugged stretch of California’s central coast between Carmel and San Simeon. Bordered to the east by the Santa Lucia Mountains and the west by the Pacific Ocean, it’s traversed by narrow, 2-lane State Route 1, known for winding turns, seaside cliffs and views of the often-misty coastline.

Bixby Bridge

This iconic bridge was built in 1932 and was featured in many Hollywood movies due to its aesthetic design. It was the highest concrete arch bridge in the world at the time, soaring 260 feet above Bixby Canyon.
Carmel, CA

Officially called Carmel-by-the-Sea, this coastal Southern California town is known for its amazing scenery as well as its art scene past and present. Former mayors include Clint Eastwood, Perry Newberry, and Herbert Heron, among other artistic icons.
Paso Robles, CA

Day 2: Atascadero - Elephant Seal Vista Point - Hearst Castle - Solvang - Santa Barbara - Los Angeles (247 miles)

Depart from Atascadero and head north to Elephant Seal Vista Point to witness elephant seals in their natural habitat. Visit the magnificent Hearst Castle, then continue to the Danish-style town of Solvang. Explore the coastal elegance of Santa Barbara before arriving in Los Angeles in the evening.

San Simeon, CA

San Simeon is a town on the Pacific coast of San Luis Obispo County, California. Its position along State Route 1 is approximately halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, each of those cities being roughly 230 miles (370 km) away. A key feature of the area is Hearst Castle.

Hearst Castle

Hearst Castle is a mansion located on the central coast of California that is a National Historic Landmark. Built in 1919 for William Randolph Hearst, the mansion is more than 90,000 square feet in area.
Solvang, CA

Antiquated windmills and Northern Europeans-style architecture punctuate the little village's skyline. Brilliant sunshine, boundless open country and rolling hills- these are the characteristics of what the original Danish immigrants called "Solvang" or "Sunny Field"
Santa Barbara, CA

"The American Riviera" in southern California is known for its year-round warm weather. It features miles of beaches as well as historic landmarks like the Mission Santa Barbara, a still-functioning church founded by Spanish missionaries in the 18th century.
