We stayed at the Lake View Lodge in Lee Vining first night when we traveled from home to Turlock CA last Fall. Super nice place up in the mountains and the nearby Mono Lake was the location for High Plains Drifter. We headed to Yosemite the next morning and had a great day there.

We are flying into Sac and picking up our bikes at the dealer. Planning on going to Groveland that night then hit the park. After that we will work our way north then through Oregon and Washington then back to Minnesota. Possible destination is back to the coast then up to Oregon and Washington. I am all ears on suggestions for what to see and do. We got 12 days to return. We have done most things there are see once we hit Montana so really just looking for ideas in No Cal, OR, and WA.

What does that mean?

You're having your bikes shipped to the dealer ... Not picking up New bikes there?

Sacramento HD or a suburb?

I posted this in the Crossing Oregon in June thread.
going in opposite direction Bend to Crater Lake


There ia a beautiful ride from Bend that takes you through DeSchutes Forest and Cascade Lakes. Part of Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway.
Starts at Bend. Comes out at LaPine. Suggest it on your way to Crater Lake.

Another option after Yosemite if you want to ride the northern section of the Pacific Coast Highway and Redwoods:

Groveland / Sonora / Hwy 4 Stockton / Hwy 12 Napa.
Silverado Wine Trail (Napa, Calistoga, St Helena Hwy, Rutherford, Yountville, Napa ) / Sonoma
Hwy 101 & 1: Bodega Bay. / Fort Bragg / Leggett / Humboldt Redwoods State Park / Fortuna / Eureka / Redwoods National Park / Crescent City
Oregon Pacific Coast: Coos Bay / Newport / Tillamook
Portland / Columbia River to Washington State
