This beauty was right next to the road.
Unfortunately, the window was not all the way down and we had to hurry, for there was a car coming up behind us.









The bark of this tree was just awesome - it sorta looked like long wavy hair - like when you undo your braid.














Mt. Diablo peeking over the fog.


View of Sausalito.
























The overlook.










Highway 1
(For this loop, you walk a mile on the actual highway - a bit nerve racking.)
