Download or read book Best Highway 1 Road Trip San Francisco to Big Sur written by R. Randall Schroeder and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-13 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up in Monterey inspired me to write this book years ago and I finally did it. My goal is to share the places you may not find on your own - hidden beaches, places to visit and things to do with limited time. When it comes to car trips, this is one of the best in the world. Seriously. Car trips are in my blood. Our whole family always loved having the flexibility to stop and take photos or just hop out of the car and breath fresh fragrant air. Regardless of the weather, the combination of beautiful beaches, water, trees, small towns and a two lane road, make this drive an adventure you'll never forget. I grew up in Monterey and always chose Highway One over the freeway route. Yes, it's a bit longer, but usually only 20-30 minutes. Every turn offers unique jaw dropping views you won't see anywhere else. You won't understand, until you do it.

Sprinkled throughout are 13 sidelights relating to trees; among the topics are the city's wild parrots and the trees they love; an overview of the objectives of the Friends of the Urban Forest; and discussions about the link between Australia's trees and those in the city, such as the eucalyptus.

A two-page color map of San Francisco then highlights 25 selected neighborhoods ideal for viewing trees, leading into a checklist of the neighborhoods and their trees.
