>>1144833nice dubs OP. Pro tip from a Californian, take the Pacific Coast Highway (state route 1) all the way up to the North Coast, if you can. The PCH kinda adds a few hours to your trip, so you will likely plan to stop somewhere in Mendocino for the night. Which is usually chill. Then hop on the 101 through Humboldt and Del Norte. You then have the same option along the Oregon coast. Both states (NorCal and Oregon) have very beautiful and underrated coastal zones, you will see a lot of epic redwoods and mountains. However, this drive is not for the faint of heart, there are sketchy mountains and cliffs involved. But it is way more scenic than the big flat suburbs of Sacramento and Redding that you would pass on the 5.
