California Highway One: Mendocino

In Mendocino County, the mountains pull back from the ocean and contours are more rounded, making for the nicest views along CA Hwy 1 north of San Francisco. In late spring and early summer, wildflowers abound. Besides all that, use the guide to Highway One in Mendocino to find two scenic lighthouses, a jewel of botanical garden and the prettiest town on the northern coast.
