Alright, starting to plan a trip to do the Pacific coast.

Fly to Seattle, rent bikes and head across Puget Sound and down the coast for a couple of weeks.

I am sure there are many posts that would be useful in planning, but, if you have any suggestions let me know.

Probably late June to mid July.

 

Love that ride. If you go to Post #40 of “The Journeys Of Darla” you can see it all the way from Port Angeles to San Fransisco. Your heading the right way. South. The view is to your right and the pull outs are on Ocean Side.

Plan to spend a few days in Crescent city and take some walking shoes so you can walk amongst the giants.

Rent a dune buggy in Florence and enjoy the Sand Dunes.

Plan to be done by 2/3 every day. Enjoy the seafood restaurants.

I have posted about North and South trips on the coast. I would suggest reading Both directions as I put different things in both.

 

Hit route 101 up on the tip of the Olympic peninsula and just follow it south, expect to get wet a bit but it's an absolutely awesome ride. Some the best roads and scenery to be had on the west coast. Many small towns and lots to see & do take you time and don't bother with daily deadlines.

Poster above pretty well pegged it.

 

Make sure hwy1 is open below Big Sur a bridge was out then a big silide took the road out. Bridge got fixed. I think slide is still there and will be for a while.

 

That's great info and pictures.

 

Land slide is South of San Fran, so it's not on the route, unless the OP extends down past SF. Hopefully, the roadway will be clear by summertime. Check www.caltrans.gov for up to the minute road conditions for the whole State.
If the OP likes twistys, there's hwy 36 from Acton to Red Bluff and back to the coast. About 300 miles of em...

 

Prob will not go too far south of SF.

Hopefully, plenty to see between Seattle and SF

But, since I an't been there before, I am open to any good suggestions.

 

Motels or Tenting?

 

Gonna be a gorgeous ride for sure, i've done SF - Portland. Fairly similar.

 

Motels.
