Over the years Gribblenation has compiled hundreds of articles relating to highways in California along with copious amount of scenery the State has to offer. One thing that I've frequently received feedback on over the years is that it can be difficult to track down specific articles. The Golden State Highways and California Travel Directory aims to change this by making a go-to page for anything we feature related to California.
Intro to Golden State Highways and California Travel Directory
Pictured above as the cover photo for the Golden State Highways and California Travel Directory is California State Route 89 above Lake Tahoe east of Emerald Bay. I picked the above photo for a specific reason; it features a part of the State Highway System that often is overlooked by mainstream travel websites. While California State Route 1 in Big Sur may garner much deserved attention the Highway System in California has even more to offer in the form of, massive freeways, countless differing mountain ranges, agricultural lined valleys, inland wetlands, and even deserts.
Of course, as a Highway webpage Gribblenation primarily focuses on roads and their many stories. That said we aren't exclusively road enthusiasts and often the roads we take are a vehicle to an endless array of adventure. Within the Highway articles and standalone features below there are stories of; towns, ghost towns, railroads, infrastructure, public works projects, National Parks, State Parks, National Forests, State Forests, hiking, and many other topics to be found related to California.

Version information and updates
- Version 1; 6/30/20: Simply put Version 1 is simply just piling everything we have related to California into this directory. Likely updates will come to this page on a monthly basis as California articles are published. Short term I would like to inventory what State Highways we have articles for and what remains.
- Version 2; 2/10/22: I simplified the page and shuffled the text around in hopes of making it easier to navigate. The Version and Update Log was pushed to the bottom since I doubt many people really care to read it. I had to blow up the text to correct whatever was going on embedded in the background causing glitches.
- Version 3.0; 1/10/23: The link directories were updated, and a new URL was created to fix some bugs.
