Epic Roadtrip: Oregon to Los Angeles along US 101 & US 1

[mark1031]

Amazing trip. I did SF to San Diego. The redwood forest was a highlight.
Love the SWB 911 encounter too.

Off topic. Are you using Lightroom for post processing in that lead image? Other software? Templates?

Most of the photos I posted were shot RAW on a Nikon Z6 then processed with Lightroom. The ones shot with my phone are untouched.

Bucket list item for me for sure

Do it! Its one of the most amazing drives in the world especially when the weather is cooperating. Often this time of year its rain with a ton of fog. We got 5 glorious days of sun.

Cali is my home and the coast is my jam...been up and down with my bikes but have yet to take the bronco!!! Will do it soon. Great Photos! and thanks for the inspiration

This part was particularly ridiculous. High elevation and lots of crazy twisty windy switch backs. Soooo good!

Finally got my Bronco 2-1/2 years after ordering it, definitely worth the wait!
Took it on a rather epic road trip down the coast just two weeks after taking delivery.

High in the mountains near the Umpqua River

Trail turn assist is amazing!

Lighthouse near Winchester Bay Oregon

The bridge to Lost Coast California.

Rather indescribable when you just turn into the giant redwood forest, everything just goes dark

Crazy redwood is bigger then the Bronco! Its really dark under the canopy.

Took off the roof for the drive down Avenue of the Giants. Incredible!

Made it to San Francisco

Going over the Golden Gate next to a 60's 911 was pretty sweet. Roof off of course.

Alcatraz dead ahead!

Twisting down Lombard St. with the roof off.

Big Sur is just stupidly beautiful

near Big Sur

That is an awesome drive! Done it many times myself, but never in a BRONCO!

Here's a few more boring ones that dont feature a certain badass Ford Bronco but thought I'd share some other vistas along the way.

That is an amazing drive. I have road most of that on my bicycle. Beautiful scenery.

At different points in my life I've done that drive from the Bay Area as far south as OC, and as far north as Victoria, but never in one trip. Impressive.

Gorgeous!!!!
I drove the Columbia River Gorge then down the coast to San Francisco (South Bay) in my Subie. The views can't be beat. I've done the coast down to San Diego as well, but not on the same trip.

Nice! I live here and can’t get enough of hiway 1, the coast and redwoods (just did Big Sur to Cambria last week)...glad you enjoyed!! (But ya missed 1 through Fort Bragg to SF)...we get less fog spring and fall.

Don't just love your Bronco?
I love mine. Worth the wait!

Okay, I have to ask, where were the zebras? We did this trip many years ago, took the long way home from SD through MT, ID, and OR to Northridge, CA. Best part was the coast, but no zebras!! Thanks for posting the beautiful pics.
