1934 State Highway 9 Santa Cruz Mountains California

Postmarked in 1934, this postcard features a scenic view along State Highway 9 as it winds through the lush Santa Cruz Mountains of California. This historic route, once a key connector between the Bay Area and coastal towns like Santa Cruz, offered motorists a thrilling drive through towering redwoods and misty canyons. During the 1930s, as car ownership boomed, roads like Highway 9 symbolized freedom and weekend escapes from the city. The image captures the charm of early California road travel, when filling stations were few and roadside diners were treasured discoveries.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
