Heads Up
- 1. Pack a rain shell—once you hit Northern California and Oregon, the weather gets "moody" regardless of the season.
- 2. Download your maps for the Redwoods section as cell service drops significantly among the big trees.
- 3. Day 2: 5h 40m driving — plan rest stops
- 4. Day 3: 7h 12m driving — plan rest stops
