Have just found this fascinating site but being an english visitor I am somewhat confused by the wealth of information.
This July my wife and I will be driving on vacation from Sacramento Ca. to Seattle. Our itinerary has 7 nights for this section of our trip before we fly back to the UK from Seattle the next day. We are thinking spending 4 of these nights enroute and 3 in Seattle.
Could someone please suggest where we should attempt to book motel/hotel accommodation to make the most of seeing the sights along the way. We have in mind driving from 08:30 to 12:30 stopping for, say, an hour then driving another 2 hours before over-nighting. Average speed,say, 40 mph. However, nothing is fixed in concrete other than our return flight.
What should we attempt to see? We like to walk for about a mile once a day (providing there are no bears - we aren't experienced for such encounters!). Would like to see the best of the Redwood parks and the highlights of the coast.
With 2 clear days in Seattle what suggestions does anyone have, please?
