Still,
there are a few great road trips that can inveigle almost anybody, a few that
can instill a lifelong curiosity about what lies beyond the next hairpin turn. One
of those road trips is the Highway 1, also known as the Pacific Coast Highway,
which stretches from Mexico to the town of Leggett in northern California but
is perhaps most captivating between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
The Highway
1 is the sort of road you see in car ads and movies, one that begs to be driven
in a red convertible. It has stomach-dropping turns, wide, clean beaches, and
cliffs that plunge to the frothing ocean. It cleaves to the edge of the
continent in a way that no road on the more developed East Coast does. It also
offers up acres of soft green farmland. No wonder this highway is one of
America's unofficial pilgrimage routes—for beatniks, surfers, food groupies
chasing the latest fresh taste sensation, and thrill-seekers of all sorts.
