Historic US 101 in California

U.S. Route 101 is a major north–south highway on the West Coast of the United States that runs along the Pacific Ocean through California, Oregon, and Washington. It was established on November 11, 1926, as part of the United States Numbered Highway System and spans 1,500 miles (2,400 km). Several sections were later rebuilt to eliminate curves and address traffic congestion. The highway's southern terminus is at a major interchange in Los Angeles. US 101 follows the historic El Camino Real from Los Angeles to San Francisco, where it reaches the Golden Gate Bridge. The highway then runs through coastal towns and around the west, north, and east sides of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington to its northern terminus near Olympia. The highway does not serve the largest cities in Oregon and Washington; that role is instead filled by Interstate 5. Several portions of US 101 are designated as scenic byways, and it serves three national parks: Pinnacles, Redwood, and Olympic. ( Full article... )
