Do the Highway 101 up. Go to Big Sur/ Julia Pleiffer State Park near SF.
Visit Mulnomah Falls in Portland Oregon.
Visit Olympic National Park [including the Hoh rainforest] in Washington.

Highway 101 is even better than the Great Ocean Road in Australia (IMO). I went from Portland to LA. Highlights were Canon Beach (you can pump yourself up by watching the Goonies first), Big Sur with lunch at a cafe (I think it was called Esalen), driving through the redwoods, Monterrey, veered off into Sonoma, Mendocino. Have fun and enjoy the amazing scenery

San Francisco to Seattle
- Redwood National Park: Marvel at the towering ancient redwood trees and take a hike through this stunning natural wonder.
- Crater Lake National Park: Detour inland to witness the breathtaking deep blue waters of Crater Lake, one of the most spectacular natural wonders in the United States.
- Portland: Stop in this vibrant city and explore the food cart scene, craft breweries, and beautiful parks and gardens.
