12 Scenic Stops For Your End-of-Summer California Road Trip

This fishing village in San Luis Obispo County offers up tons of activities such as kayaking, fishing, surfing, biking, and just hanging out on the beaches. But if you're looking to snap some pics, the area around Morro Rock, a 581-foot volcanic plug sitting just off the mainland, is the perfect subject. Plus you're likely to see some sea lions, otters, and birds. Just pay attention to where you'll want to detour off of Highway 1, as the first no-pass closure is only about 50 miles north.
