Not many highways can surpass being mere corridors between point A and point B to become actual site-seeing destinations themselves. A few on our list are the Autobahn (because you can go whatever speed you like), Route 66 (the most famous American highway), Highway 61 (visited or revisited), and the Pig Trail (Arkansas Highway 23). And now added to that list are California's Highway 1 and the entire Pacific-coast-hugging U.S. Route 101. We ventured on and off of these two roads for almost half of our trip and when we got a chance hopped out to pick up roadside trash. From the CA1's Pacific Coast Highway and Big Sur coastline National Scenic Byway to U.S. Route 101's path from the redwoods, through the foggy Oregon coast, and all the way to Washington's Puget Sound, this thoroughfare does not lack adventure.
