Jeff Matthews Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 In mid October, I plan to fly to Vegas, rent a car, drive through Yosemite to the West Coast, and drive up the West Coast to Seattle - mostly along Highway 1. I'll probably return through Idaho and Utah, back down to Vegas. Where are the best sites along the way, and how much time should I allow for them? The whole excursion will be around 10 days to 2 weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 My friend did about the same and sent me too many pictures. Lots to see alright. If I glean anything, will let you know. This last time, he did Arizona and think New Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt6VZ Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) Your road trip sounds like an incredible adventure! Driving from Vegas to Seattle along Highway 1 will offer you breathtaking views and unforgettable experiences. Along the way, make sure to stop at iconic spots like the Golden Gate Bridge, Big Sur, and the Redwood National and State Parks. Each of these places offers unique natural beauty and sights that will make your trip memorable. If you're looking for a relaxing retreat during your journey, consider staying at Los Altos Beach Resort & Spa. Located in a picturesque setting, Los Altos offers luxurious accommodations and a range of amenities to unwind after a day of exploring.

boom3 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Crater Lake is fantastic and hopefully it will be open in October. Also, Lava Beds National Monument in northern Cali is great; it has lava tubes to explore, and don't miss Petroglyph Point, a huge set of petroglyphs . In Oregon, the Rogue River can be seen at a number of state parks. The Rogue has many manifestations and each view is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fliskyn Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 In Yosemite, don't miss Yosemite Valley, Glacier Point, and Mariposa Grove. Along Highway 1, Big Sur, Hearst Castle, and Bixby Creek Bridge are must-sees. Allow at least 2-3 days for Yosemite and Big Sur each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jona Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 (edited) Great recommendations here, thanks! The last time we were on the same route, we stayed at Eagle Point Resort for several days. We enjoyed it a lot! It was a wise decision to contact eagle point resort customer service and find out all their deals. I hope to return there next year.
