Coastline & Redwoods: The Pacific Dash
I'm reading your request for a 4-day run up the coast; since we're covering about 1,300 miles in 96 hours, this is definitely a "mission" trip, but we'll make sure the windshield views are world-class.

Heads Up
- 1. Bring a rain shell even in summer—the coast north of Eureka gets moody fast.
- 2. Download your maps for the stretch between Eureka and the Oregon border, as cell service can drop out among the big trees.
- 3. Day 1: 8h 24m driving — plan rest stops
- 4. Day 3: 7h 21m driving — plan rest stops
