| | The Bus Route to Hearst Castle |
 | | Much of the wildlife seen while traveling the bus route is considered indigenous to California, including the coyote, bobcat, cotton-tailed rabbit, white-tailed deer, quail, turkey vulture, mountain lion, red-tailed hawk, kestrel hawk, burrowing owl, and other native species. |
 | | Some exotic species, many of which are descendants of the animals once in Hearst's zoo, may roam close enough to the road to be seen from the bus. |
 | | Wooden animal shelters constructed in the late 1920s to protect the animals still stand near the bus route, though today they are used primarily by cattle on the Hearst Ranch. |
