[[File:Justinhitching.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Justin hitchhiking to Arcata]]
The following places are recommended: Big Sur and Crescent City (CA-1 & US-101), have beautiful shores/beaches. Yosemite (Highway 120), Sequoia National Park, the Redwoods and the Los Padres Forest are a must. The Haight-Ashbury (or just "the Haight") district in [[Bay Area|San Francisco]] the famous epicenter of much of the 1960s' drug and music culture is long gone and beat like a drum, but you might meet a few interesting people there. [[Arcata]] is mad cool as well.
== Road Infrastructure ==
[[User:Thewindandrain]] gives the hitchhiking infrastructure here a score of 1 out of 3 stars.
*Shoulders
:Broad shoulders are common along many roadsides, giving people plenty of room to pull over for you. However, it is not uncommon to encounter places where shoulders have not been built or are prohibitively narrow.
*Pedestrian Rights
:All interstates and a good many highways in California prohibit pedestrians.
*Interchanges
:[[split-traffic interchange|Split-traffic interchanges]] are all too common in California. Many interchanges also do not require drivers to slow down, which can lead to longer waiting times.
