Pacific Coast Dash: SD to Oak Harbor

I've mapped out a high-mileage but stunning 4-day run up the coast. Since you're covering about 1,300 miles in 4 days, we're going to focus on the heavy hitters like the Redwoods and the Golden Gate while making sure you hit your Hilton stops.


Route: San Diego → Santa Barbara → San Jose → Golden Gate Bridge → Avenue of the Giants → Eureka → Jedediah Smith Redwoods → Eugene → Vancouver, WA → Seattle → Oak Harbor
✅ Current month (May) is in this region's prime season. PCH best Apr-May & Sep-Oct (clear, mild). Big Sur landslides occasionally close Hwy 1 Dec-Mar — verify daily.
