We have done the Oregon and Northern California Coast twice now and still have more to see the next time we go down there.

Let me list them as you go North to South.

Going from Washington to Oregon you have to go across the Astoria Bridge

After that the whole Oregon Coast is great but here are some of the things I would suggest. Canon Beach and Haystack Rock there. Tillamook with the Cheese factory, http://www.tillamookcheese.com/ and the Air Museum http://www.tillamookair.com/.

All of the Oregon Coast has so many things to see and is a great drive. To the south on the coast there is Gold Beach and we stayed at the http://www.turtlerockresorts.com/.

You can either camp there or they have little cottage type mobile homes you can rent like we did. They are a little pricy, but was well worth it for us, as they have private hot tubs for our backs, which is great after a long days ride. After that, crossing into California I would recommend Crescent City http://www.crescentcity.org/ and the KOA there http://www.koa.com/where/ca/05102/ . After that is the http://www.treesofmystery.net/

Near Klamath California along with the Tour Thru Tree http://www.klamathcc.org/home.cfm?dir_cat=37883 . The Sky Trail Ride at the trees of mystery is well worth the time and cost of admission and the tour thru tree is right down the road. Of course the Redwoods comes after that. 4 miles south of Klamath is the Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway. If you don’t like all the touristy stuff that is on the regular Redwoods drive, this is a great option with some fantastic scenery. The regular drive has some nice stuff too. The second drive through trees, the Shrine drive through tree, is in Myers Flat California and can be seen here along with the other trees http://www.roadsideamerica.com/attract/CAPHItree.html . There are numerous state parks along the way south through the redwoods that you should have no problem finding space to stay at that time of year. If you are up for some VERY interesting driving to a little known place on the coast, I would recommend Shelter Cove. It is a hair-raising 18 mile drive west from Benbow California. It is a nice place to visit, once, but we will never go back…lol

Our visit there was nice, but at times it was like living in a Steven King Novel. It’s just one of those things you have to do once. After that we reluctantly drove the 18 miles back to 101, it’s the only way out..lol, and south to Leggett where the Chandelier Drive Through Tree is. This as far south as we got and we are planning to do another trip south into San Francisco.

I hope this info helps and was not to boring and long…lol
