After Upper California was admitted to the United States in 1850, some of the Franciscan missions were gradually restored, and in recent years public interest has further advanced the restoration. they have become an important part of tourism in California.
My wife and I like many others made it a vacation trip to visit all the missions in California. While some are easy to reach others required a bit of navigating. We did this Before GPS. Really worth the experience.
