 The Pasear was the name given to a combination of three highways in California: El Camino Real or the Royal Highway; El Camino Sierra or the Mountain Highway; and El Camino Capital or the Capital Highway. These roads form a 1,500-mile scenic circuit from San Francisco to Los Angeles, to Lake Tahoe, and back, to San Francisco. In 1912 the advocates of the Pasear urged that the roads be improved for motor travel in time for the Panama-Pacific Exposition to be held at San Francisco in 1915. These scenes along the El Camino Sierra are a prelude to the rugged beauty to be found on the Pasear. 58
