Hearst Castle

California Part V: San Simeon

June 15, 2008April 24, 2015ThomasLeave a comment




No doubt many of you know all about the Hearst Family Castle at San Simeon–it seems to be on A&E or one of those cable networks pretty frequently. What I didn’t realize was just how beautiful the setting is. Rolling pasture land down to the Pacific Ocean. The Hearsts still raise cattle on 80,000 acres of the roughly 250,000 acres they used to own.
