We were halfway through a summer road trip up Californiaâs Pacific Coast Highway, and it hadnât taken long for the rugged beauty to silence us all. You can only say âwowâ so many times until simply not saying anything is the best exclamation of awe.tate Highway 1 follows the Pacific Coast for most of its journey through California but occasionally veers inland and joins up with U.S. Highway 101. Follow the green California 1 signs to stay on course. Lodging, camping and dining.

Nimbostratus clouds are smooth layers of gray, which often cannot be seen clearly because of the precipitation falling from them. Low clouds: Stratus, cumulus and stratocumulus clouds are based at altitudes of 6,000 feet or lower. Stratus clouds appear as smooth, even sheets; light rain and drizzle often fall from them; light snow or freezing drizzle during the winter. Fog is merely a stratus cloud reaching to, or forming on the ground.
