That pretty much covers the West Coast! About 1200 miles from Tacoma, WA to San Diego, CA. San Luis Obispo is label ‘B’ on this map.
From my house in Tacoma to the AMTRAK station is about 3.3 miles. I walked, carrying about 80 pounds of gear for the trip. I didn’t have my cart yet, then.
Epic Navigation Failure! From AMTRAK, I walked North West vs. South West. Added about an extra mile or more! Still carrying about 80 pounds of gear. I’ll buy that cart at Home Depot now, thank you!
‘A’ is AMTRAK station, walk to water, then board Ferry for Coronado, then Walk some more! The Ferry ride was awesome! The walk around the east end of the island, under the bridge, to the beach by Hotel del Coronado was very nice too. Most of that was on a bike path.
The walk from the Coronado Ferry Landing, at the north edge, to the beach by Hotel del Coronado. A better view of the bike path. Highway 75 coming in from the east end of the island is the bridge. That’s a great looking golf course too!
From B, on Coronado beach, to C, at Imperial Beach Trolley Station, is 10 miles. Urg! Long Walk! Most of this walk, going south from Hotel del Coronado, is along a bike path. Then I pass through the bird sanctuary, then follow Palm Ave to the Trolley Station. It was a long, hot walk. Beautiful and so worth it, but long!
Trolley Ride, from ‘A’, go south to Mexico Border ‘B’, then ride north again to AMTRAK Station ‘C’
