14 Gorgeous Driving Landscapes in USA

3. Pacific Coast Highway (Hwy 1)

Where: California, 332 miles between San Francisco and Santa Barbara, California

PCH, or Pacific Coast Highway, is one of the most famous roadways on the West Coast of the United States. Starting in San Francisco, the highway follows the coastline overlooking the Pacific Ocean to the right with many parts of the road having ginormous redwood trees on the opposing side of the roadway. The highway has long been designated as one of the “All American Roads” and it also serves as one of the major through fares in Los Angeles and several other municipalities along the route. The first section of the PCH dates to the 1930s when the Big Sur portion opened with many other sections of the road being opened under different designations in earlier years. Definitely one of the most gorgeous driving landscapes in the U.S. worth checking out if one finds themselves on the West Coast of the U.S.
