U.S. Route 101, established in 1926, is a historic north-south United States Numbered Highway that stretches over 1,500 miles along the Pacific Coast. It traverses the states of California, Oregon, and Washington, with its southern terminus in Los Angeles, California, and its northern terminus near Olympia, Washington. Known by various names like El Camino Real in California and the Oregon Coast Highway, it is a celebrated symbol of American road trips and coastal beauty.
This iconic route has inspired numerous artists, capturing the spirit of the West Coast in song. Our collection features seven tracks that reference this legendary highway, including "CALIFORNIA (the OC theme)" by Phantom Planet and "Hey California" by Jon Pardi.
