From Dangerous Highway To Coastal Idyl

Описание: Devil’s Slide Trail is more than a coastal walk; it’s a story of transformation. Once one of California’s most dangerous highways, this abandoned stretch of Highway 1 has become a peaceful, breathtaking path along the Pacific. In this episode, we slow down, take it all in, and reflect on how letting go of speed sometimes leads to something better. If you love scenic walks, coastal history, and California’s quieter magic, this one might surprise you.

We’ve created something special to accompany your own adventures.
It’s an eBook titled California’s Hidden Gems, featuring our favorite small towns, hikes, golf courses, and off-the-beaten-path adventures. It’s available on a pay-what-you-want basis. Every download helps us keep the journey going.
Your support helps us keep exploring, filming, and sharing the hidden gems of California and beyond.
