California is a treasure trove of breathtaking landscapes and stunning hiking trails. From towering mountains to picturesque coastal cliffs, this state is definitely one of a kind. If you’re looking to embark on some epic hiking adventures, you’ve come to the right place. Here are some iconic hikes to check out in the Golden State.

Yosemite National Park

One of the must-visit hiking destinations in California is Yosemite National Park. It hosts Half Dome Trail, a challenging trek that rewards you with jaw-dropping views of granite cliffs, waterfalls, and the vast Yosemite Valley.

McWay Falls Trail

If you prefer coastal scenery, head to the Big Sur region and hike the McWay Falls Trail. This short but stunning trail leads you to a majestic waterfall cascading onto a secluded beach.

Joshua Tree National Park

For a unique hiking experience, make your way to Joshua Tree National Park. Here, you’ll find the mesmerizing Joshua Tree Loop Trail. Wander through a surreal landscape adorned with towering Joshua Trees and fascinating rock formations.

Mount Whitney

Another gem of California hiking is the Mount Whitney Trail in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. This challenging but rewarding trail takes you to the highest peak in the contiguous United States, offering awe-inspiring views along the way.

Thinking of going on a road trip? TikTok has you covered. If you search the term #roadtrip on the social media platform, you’ll find at least 11.2 billion hits, so you know there is tons of travel inspo to choose from! But with so much content, it can get a little overwhelming…

Thankfully, the guys at Auto Trader in the UK have analyzed the data and compiled a list of the top places around the world to hit the road. 

Route 66 — United States

It’s hardly surprising that Route 66 ranked as the most popular road trip destination. After all, the highway that travels cross-country, from Chicago to Santa Monica, was the inspiration behind Jack Kerouac’s On the Road. With dozens of quirky motels and peculiar sites, you definitely won’t be bored.

Big Sur — United States

The coastal region of California is a sight to behold. Known for its rugged mountains, redwood forests, and beaches, Big Sur has been deemed “an isolated stretch of road, mythic in reputation.” Be sure to heck out the Bixby Creek Bridge and Point Sur Lightstation.

Wild Atlantic Way — Ireland

Stepping away from the States, and stretching from Cork to Donegal, the Wild Atlantic Way is the longest road trip in Ireland. The 1,500-mile journey includes cliffs, beaches, hiking spots, and a dark sky reserve!

Of all the routes I have traveled, the Highway One journey through California has got to be a strong contender for number one. The massive open road is partnered with exceptional views of the ocean. There are also a ton of great spots between San Francisco and Los Angeles to visit. Here are some of our favorites.

Piedras Blancas Elephant Seal Rookery

Along the coast, you will find a beach that is home to hundreds of elephant seals. I’m not sure why they are there, but I am glad I got to witness them on my journey.

Red Woods

Red Woods are a rare and beautiful species of tree, and they are native to California. The Red Wood National Park is a truly breathtaking experience.

Bubblegum Alley

It may sound kind of gross, but bubblegum alley is a fun addition to your Californian road trip. It pretty much is what it says on the tin. And we’re sorry about that.

Big Sur

Big Sur contains some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Willow Creek is my personal favorite. It’s a bit of a hidden gem though, so don’t tell anyone.

Bixby Bridge

No Californian road trip is complete without driving over this iconic bride. It offers phenomenal coastal views and stretches for over 700 feet.
