KEY ATTRACTIONS
San Jose
Malibu
The Wildlife Route
Pismo Beach
This early stop on the trip contains many illustrious
art galleries and museums and is also part of Silicon
Valley -the home of both Facebook and Google’s
worldwide headquarters. Another key attraction to
the city is the famous Winchester Mystery House, an
intensely spooky building made up of 165 rooms.
The $20 million house was built by Sarah Winchester
after being instructed to do so by her medium.
Follow the signs towards Point Dume as you head
towards San Diego, and you’ll come to Malibu, a
collection of rocky coves and beautiful beaches
dotted along 21 miles of coastline. Typically
associated with lavish lifestyles of the people who
call this place home, this affluent area might be a
much-needed change of pace for any adventurer
currently growing tired of the interior of their car at
this late stage of their trip across the west coast.
Quite a lot of the ‘classic’ American road trips contain long stretches of deserts, something which might not
be to everyone’s taste. However, if you would rather drive amidst verdant greenery and lush flora and fauna
then this is the trip for you. Head along Route 89 and allow this 600 mile long drive from Wyoming to Montana
to take you through some of the country’s finest national and state parks, showcasing some of the most
picturesque views in the United States. This journey also traverses some of the most glorious mountains and
peaceful lakes to be found. Overall, this is the ideal antidote to the hustle and bustle of big city living.
This coastal city offers glorious white beaches for
you to stroll along and unwind after a long day on
the road. For the more thrill-seeking tourist, the
chance to partake in some dune-riding on ATVs may
be too good to pass up! Food enthusiasts will also be
intrigued to discover that Pismo Beach is known as
the ‘Clam Capital of the World’ and will be spoilt for
choice by the sheer amount of the delicacy available
around the area.
