Tips from anyone who's made the drive would be greatly appreciated. I did the PCH from San Fran to Seattle. Absolutely amazing. I was on a time deadline so I didnt stop as much as I wanted to so I could enjoy it, but the views were incredible. You can do that drive with absolutely nothing planned and just stop places that look cool. Its pretty convenient in that sense. Would love to do it again and take my time.

JohnnyHector Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Did the drive from LA to San Francisco a while ago, but a good portion of that stretch of the PCH is a little inland. I remember the portion between Oxnard and San Luis Obispo (not far from LA) being the most scenic, since it's right along the water and goes through areas like Malibu.

I just recently drove it from San Diego to Malibu. Its not very exciting. Lots of traffic. About the only thing that was cool on that drive is I took a picture of Crenshaw and felt all Thug'd out pumpin Snoop and Dre while driving through Long Beach.

I'm looking at the route now and I think Calgary to San Diego is just too much to be able to enjoy myself if I only have two weeks. There are quite a few cities I'd like to spend two or three days in so I'm thinking maybe San Fran to San Diego on the PCH with a couple days in LA.

Meh, I hated LA and cut my stay there short and spent the extra time in San Fran. I'd rather spend more time either there, or in San Diego if I were you.

Tips from anyone who's made the drive would be greatly appreciated. Sounds like a lot of fun. If you were to want to take a detour I'd recommend the Columbia River Gorge Scenic Byway- It's really quite beautiful and there are some tourist spots where you can stop to take some good pictures. The Columbia gorge runs on I-84 but the Byway goes up into the cliffs, and it's really beautiful. I'm not a "love nature" kinda guy but it's hard not to fall in love with that drive.

But, I'm from the surf/skate culture, so I am biased....but L.A. is just a mess. I dont know how anyone could live in the hell hole. San Fran is a cool place to visist, dont think I could ever live there...but definitely a great place to spend time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I've only done the drive from San Fran to LA. Stunning views along the way, just remember to keep an eye on the road. We stopped in Monterray to visit the aquarium and do the 17 mile drive around the peninsula. Got to walk the 17th and 18th hole at Pebble Beach. I agree with the posters on trying to avoid LA and spend time in San Francisco and San Diego. Go to the San Diego Zoo and spend some time at Coronado Beach.
