We did 101 from San Francisco, all the way up thru Oregon, into Washington & then over to Mt St. Hellen a couple years ago. It was spactular. I'd love to do it again!
This pic is from two weeks ago at the foot of St. Helens. This is the South side up the Lewis River out of Woodland.
This pic is me in September on top of St. Helens with Spirit Lakeand Mt. Rainier in the backgroud.

Made that trip in Sept, Beautiful!!! left from Sacramento up to Reno, then north on 395 to 36 then into Oregon and up to The Dalles. From there over to Astoria and then down to Ukiah and back over 20 to Sac. 6 days 2000 mi.. Wonderful....a little fog but no rain!
In late july of this year,I rode the 101 from Port Angeles to Crescent City...wow what a ride...picked up a t-shirt in Coos Bay...the scenery and weather was amazing.
You stopped to soon. South of Crescent City is some beautiful scenery as you ride in and out of Redwood groves. Then you get to Eureka which pretty much sucks because it's always foggy, but the scenery picks back up again as you go south. Cut over on Hwy 1 at Legget. Great ride through the woods right onto the coast.
We would have gone farther south but we had to head east...didn't want to miss Sturgis.The ride through Idaho and wyo was breath taking....and so was the heat.We don't get that hot on the east coast of canada.
You can't beat the riding in Oregon. My wife and I make several trips to the coast each year. We also really enjoy Eastern Oregon - John Day, Condon, Baker City, Joseph, Ukiah and so on. There are also some great roads from the coast over to the Willamette valley. One of my favorites is from Coos Bay over to Seven Feathers Casino.
Gassed up in a little town called Beaver (no kidding). A couple guys on crotch rockets were there after ridng a forest service road from Newberg to the coast (no gravel). I'll have to check it out next time. On the map it looks like a great ride with several lakes to see.

My Dad and I rode up the 101 from Eureka all the way to Portland then east along the Columbia River all the way to Idaho and beyond. It was on our way to Sturgis from San Diego in August. Gorgeous ride!
101 is definitely awesome. Mrs. Chil and I ride from Brookings to Lincoln City on a routine basis. Simply incredible. We're looking forward to a trip (or more) all the way up to Astoria - I know it's some of the best coastline in the world.

Here are a couple from our trip. As I recall, the 1st one is at Seal Beach, the 2nd just north of there somewhere, and the 3rdlooks to be in the general vicinity of one of your shotsgoing up towards StHellen.Unfortunately for us, it was cloudy & drizzlyas we got up closer to St Hellen.
A bunch of us from the Vancouver/Portland area are riding over together to Sturgis next year.
Anyone on this forum from our area is welcome to ride with us. It's 1200 miles over and we are planning to do it in 3 days of riding. Should be a fun time. Make your plans now.
