White Wednesday at Hearst Castle

Once the home of William Randolph Hearst, California State Parks strives to keep the estate looking like a private residence. The tours take the visitor back into time through the interpretation of a combination of many aspects regarding the estate, including William Randolph Hearst and his family, and the collection, architecture, gardens and lifestyle at the Castle. Formal guide training is an integral aspect of Hearst Castle. Castle tour guides are initially trained a total of 168 hours with additional in-service training and ongoing independent study between tours, resulting in a high quality interpretive experience for all who visit "The Enchanted Hill."
I took some photos while on tour, we were on the garden and pools tour.
Such spectacular views, although the bus ride up the hill, was extremely frightening! There are about 5 different tours I believe, but if you ever have a chance to go, definately worth it!

The long drive home, down the coast........ I didn't mind!

Happy White Wednesday.
