California is one of the best states to have a fantastic experience while on a road trip because of the scenic views, spectacular landmarks and natural sites, and the fact that marihuana is legal.

Take a look at this list we’ve compiled of three incredible road trips for stoners, all of which have key photogenic pit-stops where you can vape, smoke, or experience the blast of an edible. 

Check out this guide we made in collaboration with Binoid with three fantastic read trip alternatives in the Golden State.

Head over to their shop and get your goodies before embarking on your next weedy adventure through sunny California.

The Iconic State Route 1 is perhaps one of the most iconic and famous roads to follow when on a road trip. This is mainly due to the number of stops all along the coast of the Golden State that will have your eyes feasting on gorgeous views and inspiring scenery. 

This 656 mile-long trip begins in Southern California, at Dana Point, and makes all the way up to the state’s center near Legget in Mendocino County. You could technically make the drive in about five days, but for what it’s worth, we recommend you take ten days or a fortnight to enjoy as much as possible. 

What is perhaps most iconic about this road is its path through various types of natural and architectural scenery. You get to see the majestic pacific ocean along most of the route, but there are also forested parts near Big Sur and mountains as you make your way up north. If you’re in luck, you will get to see elephant seals and zebras near San Simeon. 

When it comes down to architecture and man-made structures, you experience a very diverse selection of gems. There is Spanish colonial architecture near Santa Ynez Valley, a gorgeous estate called Hearst Castle, and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

State Highway 18, or the Rim of the World Scenic Byway, is a 117-mile drive to begin at Cajon Pass and end at Big Bear. This route offers travelers an opportunity to experience the more rocky and mountainous side of California, following cliff edges and the peaks of the San Bernardino Mountains.

The Alps of Southern California can be traveled during a long weekend or a five-day trip. You get to explore Cajon Pass, a formidable box-shaped mountain pass, and make your way East towards amazing hikes, lakes, and places to enjoy outdoor activities. Once out of Cajon Pass, you will pass small mountains, which will get bigger as you travel.

If you’re in the mood to visit Lake Arrowhead for a good smoke spot or camping site, take a detour on Route 173. Later on, after passing through Running Springs, you can take another side-trip up to Keller Peak Fire Lookout. You get to see the Pacific Ocean on a clear day!

This 290-mile trip from San Diego to Joshua Tree National Park has plenty of wonders along the way that many miss out on due to hurrying to make it to Joshua Tree.

This trip is worth five to seven days of your time, and you get to explore rock formations, architectural wonders, meadows, and plenty of art.

The trip begins in San Diego, where you will head due northeast on Highway 163 to Highway 78.

Here, you will head towards Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, which blooms with wildflowers during spring but is a beautiful landscape to look at all year round. Near the park entrance, you can see 130/foot prehistoric animal sculptures by Ricardo Breceda. 

The Desert Drive has plenty of suns to go around, and you get to enjoy the Palm Canyon Drive towards the Salton Sea, the Santa Rosa and the San Jacinto Mountains National Monument, and Slab City, an abandoned Navy base.

These sights are worth the drive and the trip, and even better pitstops to get high. 

The Salton Sea is one of the world’s largest inland seas, and it is quickly drying up, which is a sad fact but a beauty to see either way. You can go around the south side of this massive body of water, where you’ll pass Slab City, the now off-grid community that has Salvation Mountain painted outside. 

From there, you want to take Highway 111 north towards Palm Springs, a modern oasis of sorts that has vibrant architecture and chilling pools of water.

Then, take Highway 10 towards Joshua Tree Park, a place so magical it attracts thousands of artists and tourists because of Jumbo Rocks, Skull Rock, and the galleries and museums that surround it.
