Following the principle "it's the journey, not destination", we abandoned fast, albeit slightly boring, Hwy 101 in favor of the scenic California Hwy 1. The northern terminus of the highway is in Leggett, as shown on the map of our route. Driving on the Hwy 1 is definitely much slower (half as fast, I would guess) than on the alternative 101 route, but it is thousand times more beautiful. The views all along the route are so stunning, that they literary take your breath away. Especially when you wonder if you manage to take the next turn and not fall off the cliff ;-)
Here are some shots that I manage to take from the car:
