Seattle to San Fran (via oregon coast)

[Shaunagus]

Hi All

I've been reading these forums for weeks, people here are so amazing with their knowledge and being willing to help. Thanks in advance if anyone can help with this. I have two option for a four day trip from Seattle to San Fran. I want to drive some scenic coast and see the Redwoods then get to San Fran in daylight.

Option 1 Coast then inland

Seattle for a coupla days then...

Day 1 Seattle to Cannon Beach
Day 2 Cannon Beach to Yachats
Day 3 Yachats to Eureka
Day 4 Eureka to San Fran

Option 2 Forest then Coast

Day 1 Seattle to Portland
Day 2 Portland to Gasquet to stay at an off-grid cabin
Day 3 Gasquet to Mendocino via Humbolt and avenue of giants etc
Day 4 Mendocino San Fran

This would give me two days forest, two days ocean.

What do you think?
