More Tips:
1.You can also start further north and end at San Diego, or start from San Diego driving towards north. your call!
2. If you do not want to drive, taking an Amtrak train is probably your best choice. (and budget friendlier)
3. When you are on the road, it is very hard to estimate when will you reach a certain destination. So download Hotel Tonight, just in case you need a room last minute! Use the promo code MHAPPYFEET and get $25 free credit! Click here to download the app

Hello, why did you choose highway 1 over 66? I am interested in the stops in highway 1 but look like the highway 1 you share look very nice too. This is dilema for me... If you are doing a post about highway 66... I will happy to read
Highway 66*
I am an event photographer, I love these event venues, and I will revisit this venue in a heartbeat. They have really great staff and pretty decent drinks. Their halls and rooms are absolutely gorgeous.
