Pacific Coast Highway (Pch / Ca-1)

Highway 1 / Pacific Coast Highway / PCH (adopt your preferred designation) is beautiful. The California coastline is protected by tall rugged mountains which sit right up against the crashing Pacific. The slender road that takes us North (the inside lane closer to the mountain than the cliffs) rises and falls — it rolls down by the sea where we were so close that a torrent wave rose up and crashed on the road and our car; then in a moment we’ve climbed up a cliff side and peer over the furthest edges of America.
