66 is a historic ride, it's not 'all that' anymore.As whales migrate between Baja, Mexico and Canada, they can be seen just offshore from Depoe Bay, and the Whale Watching Center is a perfect location to watch them play. I guess there's lots of good roads to ride, and I could go on and on, but the the end result is that while Rt. And while you're up there that far, you can continue your ride up toward Portland and ride the Columbia Gorge. You won't want to miss riding up to Crater Lake. Shasta and then exit at Weed, riding up U.S.

Besides, east of Redding you can continue on 299 and visit Lassen Volcanic Nat'l Park. I can't say that Redding is that much of a destination, but 299 is a great ride. It's amazing.Īt Eureka, you can pick up Hwy 299 and go east to Redding, CA. You don't want to miss riding through the Avenue of the Giants Redwoods park. You can take Hwy 1 for a long distance, but just north of Ft. You'll be in for some great twisty roads and a nice ride up the coast. Best bet, IMO, would be to pick up 101 through San Francisco, go over the Golden Gate Bridge into Sausalito, then pick up Hwy 1 to the coast.

I agree, Hwy 101/PCH is a good ride, but there is a lot of traffic and it goes through a lot of urban and suburban areas, with lots of traffic lights along the southern-most section, from San Diego to just north of L.A. Otherwise, I think you will be disappointed. The best section to ride is in Arizona, for about 200 miles. There is the nostalgia thing, I guess, but there's not much left of the original road, most of it now being interstates. So what it's worth to you as a tour depends on what you want to get out of it.

66 is a historic highway, or what's left of it.
