I'll be driving down to Phoenix from Seattle as the last portion of a permanent move down there. I could take I-5 and limit the time of the trip. However, I'd rather take my time and enjoy the sights. What I really need is advice on the best scenic route to take. I've heard 101/Route 1 is a beautiful drive along the coast. But I haven't heard anything about a more eastern route through central oregon, nevada, etc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Lawrence
