Plan a 4 Day Drive
Hey! A road trip up the West Coast is a total bucket list move. Driving from San Diego to Whidbey Island is about 1,300 miles, so we're going to have some high-mileage days to make this work in just 4 days, but the scenery is unbeatable. I've mapped this out to hit your must-sees while making sure you end each night at a Hilton property.

Heads Up
- 1. Download your maps for the Northern California/Oregon border area; cell service can be spotty among the giant trees!
- 2. Day 1: 6.5h drive driving — plan rest stops
- 3. Day 2: 6h drive driving — plan rest stops
- 4. Day 3: 7.5h drive driving — plan rest stops
