17-Mile Drive is one of the most scenic and iconic roadways in all the world. Home to some of the choicest real estate, golf courses, sunlit beaches and resorts it caters to the rich and famous and tourists from around the world.
It is also home to some of the rarest and oldest trees on the planet. The Monterey Cypress only grows on the Monterey Peninsula and across Carmel Bay at Point Lobos State Park.
The Lone Cypress, estimated at almost 300 years old and Pebble Beach Resort’s logo since 1919 is an Californian institution and protected like the crown jewel it is.
I have posted the final up-date and leaderboard from the first day’s action along with the history of 17-mile Drive and the Lone Cypress.
