U.S. Route 101
U.S. Route 101, or U.S. Highway 101 (US 101) is a north–south United States Numbered Highway that runs through the states of California, Oregon, and Washington, on the West Coast of the United States. It is also known as (The Royal Road) where its route along the southern and central California coast approximates the old trail which linked the Spanish missions, pueblos, and presidios. It merges at some points with California State Route 1 (SR 1).
California State Route 271
State Route 271 (SR 271) is a state highway in northern California, USA. It is a former routing of U.S. Route 101 (US 101), now reduced to being a frontage road for that route in discontiguous segments. It also connects with Route 1 just before that route's terminus with US 101 in Leggett. Its appeal now is that while US Highway 101 stays mostly in second growth redwoods, State Route 271 travels through several old growth redwood groves. It is now most commonly used as a scenic alternate.
