All too often, the main focus of a trip is the destination, but what about the journey?

While taking a plane to get where you need to go can be timely and convenient, nothing beats the unexpected beauty you encounter during a road trip.

Just as your perspective shifts and it becomes less about getting from point A to point B as quickly as possible, and more about the magic you experience along the way, the simple trip you planned suddenly becomes an adventure.

Sleeping on a flight as you barrel through endless clouds surrounded by strangers, turns into a front row seat at the most stunning show nature has to offer, all from the comfort of your own vehicle.

Look over there! A crystal clear body of water lined with small cabins surrounded by lush trees. No! The other window! Mountains as tall as the eye can see with buffalo stampeding the valley below. And don't even get us started on America's never-ending roadside attractions.

While each road presents its own beautiful traveling experience, there is one drive in each state known for providing the MOST scenic views around.

According to a list compiled by Thrillist, the most scenic drive in all of California is the Pacific Coast Highway.

Here's what Thrillist had to say about the most scenic drive in the entire state:

"The PCH is both one of the most famous and one of the most picturesque roads in America. It’s almost a shame if you’re driving it with a destination in mind instead of just soaking in the journey. The route is littered with famous stops: Long Beach, Malibu, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, Big Sur—but the unmissable platonic ideal of PCH is the Pebble Beach 17-Mile Drive. That’s where all those PCH photos come from. You have to pay $12 per vehicle to drive through, but it will be worth it. Another not-to-be-missed scenic stop is Muir Beach Overlook; you might recognize the long wooden stairs from dreamy PCH photos, too. It's a national treasure chest packed with gems hidden and beloved."
