El Camino Real de California, also known as the California Mission Trail, is a historical route that connects the 21 Spanish missions in California. It follows the coastal towns from San Diego to Sonoma, and its history is tied to the Spanish colonization and mission-building efforts in the 1700s. The hydrology of the region is crucial for the agricultural industry, which relies on the water provided by specific surface flow and snowpack providers such as the Sacramento River, San Joaquin River, and Yuba River. The agriculture in this area includes crops such as almonds, grapes, and citrus fruits. Recreational activities along the route include hiking, biking, and touring the missions and their historic buildings.
