See Canyon Road...



Before we left Costa Mesa, we had decided that a lot of our sight-seeing would be to places we'd visited last year and really enjoyed. There was never any doubt that we'd return to See Canyon Road and the apple orchards. We were on our way home last year the morning that we visited the orchards; we didn't have unlimited time to wander through the countryside. This year we didn't have those kinds of time constraints so we decided to drive way beyond where we'd stopped before, on a road that the signs said would be curvy for twelve miles. We're not sure how many of those twelve miles we covered - when the pavement ended, we turned back!
If there had been safe turn-outs along the way, we'd have taken many, many more pictures along that road - it's just amazingly beautiful! Sadly, there weren't many of those kinds of places - just getting a picture of the trees growing sideways out of the hill was a little dicey! It would have been fun to get pictures of the quail we saw scurrying along the edge of the road, as well.
We did stop at a couple of the orchards on the way back, bought some apples and a couple of cute souvenirs. It's hard to imagine ever growing tired of this place!
