Half the fun of a long drive is getting to see magnificent views along the way. While the views certainly don't impact the drive as much as the company (or who has control of the aux), they sure make time go faster.

Scenic views are not something you have to hope for if you traveling along one specific road in California, as stunning sights are simply guaranteed.

So, what are you waiting for? It's time to get on the road again (especially if you just can't wait to get on the road again) and we're going to tell you exactly where to drive for the most beautiful traveling experience!

According to a list compiled by Cheapism, the most scenic highway in all of California is State Route 1.

Why?

Two words. Great. Plains. Just trust us (and Cheapism, of course).

Here's what Cheapism had to say about what makes this legendary, scenic road so special:

"Officially known as California State Route 1, the Pacific Coast Highway is a popular locale for a breathtaking Big Sur road trip that begins in Monterey and ends in Morro Bay. Dazzling views of soaring cliffs along the Pacific Ocean coastline and the road's tight turns make this a scenic trip that takes about five hours to complete. Along the way, make sure to stop at the Bixby Creek Bridge — one of the tallest single-span concrete bridges in the world — and McWay Falls for photos. But check the current conditions before you go. Landslides and other events have affected travel in the Big Sur area in the past year."
