The Santa Lucia mountain range gives the region a varied topography, and the stretch of Pacific coastline is some of the most pristine in the Golden State. Here, sea otters float above mighty kelp forests. On land, oak, redwood, and evergreen forests host iconic animals like Black Bears, mountain lions, acorn woodpeckers, and Steller's Jays.
