Water is abundant on this 16-mile route through Central California. The trip starts in Salinas, where it runs parallel to the Salinas River as it travels southwest towards Monterey. Views of the Carmel Valley are nothing short of spectacular, although the dense oak, pine, and sycamore forests along the way are not half bad either. The last half of the journey faces the west, where you will have front row seats to the sparkling Pacific Ocean.
