West Coast Road Trip Advice

[GThomas]

Hey guys, I'm going on a vacation/road trip with my buddy soon and wanted to some tips on places to see or go. We fly into San Diego and plan to drive to Vegas, San Francisco, back down through LA and back to San Diego. I'm not really into touristy type attraction, my buddy is a photographer so we'd like to get some cool shots along the way of this journey. We haven't planned much but this basic route below. I'm open to any suggestions on routes or interesting places to stop(scenic, fun, secret m3 dessert junkyards). It may end up like Fear and Loathing at some point though hahaha.

On your drive North check out Monterey, Cannery Row- talking John Steinbeck and then stop by Clint Eastwood's place in Caramel Valley. Take Highway One up the coast to Santa Cruz then San Francisco.

Looking at your map I'd say you have it down. The eastern sierras along 395 and death valley will allow for some epic photography opportunities. They you hit Tahoe and SF, go down 1. I'd say it looks great. Enjoy the drive!

yeah thats a pretty good road trip route, the only thing i would add is check out highway 38 its a bit out of your way but its a great drive and then at the end theres big bear

If you go more North before coming back south, you can check out the emerald triangle. The scenery out there is amazing, redwoods the size of houses and it has a very rain foresty feel to it.

Oh and Humboldt is fun for some high grade MJ.

You may want to check out Angela's crest highway in northeasten LA area around Ojai but a waste of time in a rental car

Your route looks awesome, highway 1 should be your main concern. But what car are you going to drive? I didn't know you could rent an e30? lol. But seriously, what the fuck are you going to drive other than an e30, bro?

[Thizzelle]

yeah check out the armstrong woods it's about 1 hour north of san fran. then you can pick me up and we can all cruise down to SD and I'll fly back home yay!

[GThomas]

Thanks for the tips guys, as much as would love to drive the E30 out there time and money doesn't permit the cross country drive this time. I'll be sure to post pics once i get back :)

You should cross over to the coast at Yosemite. Especially for pics! Pismo Beach on your way down the coast, You can drive on the beach and they have miles and miles of open sand dunes. Bonfires! Vehicle rentals available. Check out the F4 Phantom, F14 Tomcat (topgun) and others right off the one freeway, South outside of Port Hueneme on your way down the coast to Malibu.. Looks like a fun trip-

Yosemite, and Tijuana.
