Scenic Drive Around San Luis Obispo, CA

The area around San Luis Obispo is beautiful: rolling hillsides, craggy mountains, pewter beaches, cliffs, vineyards, and cattle meadows.

We decided to enjoy a scenic drive from Paso Robles to Cambria on CA-46, and then go north on CA-1 along the coast, up to the beginning of Los Padres National Forest. At this point, CA-1 becomes very narrow and winding. It is a gorgeous drive and we pulled over several times to take photos.

As we were making our way back home, we reminded each other to watch for the Zebra herd between San Simeon and Cambria... as told to us by the Hearst tour bus driver. And then I spotted them! We quickly pulled over and took some photos. There were about 18 Zebras, split between two clusters. So fun to see them!

Here are some photos of the Zebras and our drive today.
