This is a road trip I took from Austin to the West Coast and back. The first leg was from Austin to Los Angeles on the interstate, then from L.A. to San Francisco on the Pacific Coast Highway; and then back to Austin via Route 66. 2 weeks in total.
Austin is amazing. Sunny and laid-back with plenty of things to do, great live-music scene, friendly folks, cool patio bars, and food that will make you want to stay.

One of the most interesting beaches in Los Angeles! So much activity, and lot of places to grab a bite. Just remember to get here by sunset to witness a magical sky full of changing colors. It's unreal!
It's a super short walk (not really a hike) to one of the most breathtaking views you'll see. Amazing colors on a clear sky day (or even a cloudy day I've heard).
