Gaze up at Hearst Castle, where newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst built his 'modest little home' with 165 rooms and an outdoor pool that would make Neptune jealous. The castle tours reveal a man who collected art and exotic animals with equal enthusiasm. Just north on Highway 1, the Piedras Blancas elephant seal rookery offers nature's own soap opera, with massive bulls battling for beach territory. The coastal views along this stretch of Highway 1 provide the kind of scenery that makes drivers forget their destination. San Simeon State Park offers trails where the forest meets the sea. After exploring, sample local wines in nearby Cambria's tasting rooms, where pourers speak of ocean influence on grapes with religious devotion.
