MissionTour Home

Follow my tour of the California Missions as it takes place. As each Mission is visited I'll be adding a complete description, a pictorial tour, maps to help find the Mission, and other useful information as appropriate. Information about trip plans is here. Only those Missions with the camera icon behind them () are filled in [a half camera () indicates some additional information is posted--usually history; sometimes pictures taken in prior visits]. Finally, the circular arrow () indicates a 360-degree panorama inside the Church (and sometimes other spots) has been added to that section of the site. Missions are listed North to South in sequence. The few Sub-missions (Asistencias) that still have portions intact are listed below the Mission they served. U.S. Highway 101 generally links all the Missions and is typically known as El Camino Real.

Note: Full cameras presently indicate coverage of a mission as a "standard tourist." More will be added after subsequent visits.

For each Mission there will be a tour following the general path most tourists would take through the Mission. Follow along via the icons or jump to related pages by following the icons.

General information about the Mission system and related discussions is available here.
