Begin The Trip Now | Day-By-Day Descriptions | Home

The Oregon and California Coast road trip begins and ends in Portland. The tour of the coast starts in beautiful Cannon Beach. From there, the incredible ocean scenery lines up in a row, with rocky and sandy beaches, dramatic capes, and picturesque coves. Once in California, there are redwood forests waiting to make you feel insignificant. After the remote Lost Coast and quaint Mendocino, the trip takes you into San Francisco. Once you leave the city, mountain lakes like Tahoe, Shasta, and Crater provide excitement, before the route returns you to the coast for one final day.
