Oregon Travel..Please Help? -

I want to drive the entire highway 101 along the coast of oregon...how long wo you think it would take, and what do you think would be the best time of year..i d like to do this in april, but i think it maybe too wet???

I seem to remember it s a little over 300 miles. We did it over the course of 4 days in an RV - you could probably make it in a day if you had to but it is so gorgeous I don t know why you would. We made the journey in May and the weather was gorgeous. A little rain but not bad at all. You have picked a great place to drive. Also, if you haven t done Hwy 1 down the coast of California I highly recommend it as well!Good luck and enjoy!

the coast highway in oregon is about 340 miles. ive done it a few times on a bicycle, but only bits and pieces in a car. at the very least, it s a two-day car ride, and that s just stopping for food. but it s probably some of the most beautiful coastline on the pacific other than the big sur area. i lived in astoria for a few years, and it consistently rains there into july. but once you get south of there, april and may is always hit and miss.you should give yourself maybe 5 days if you just want to hit the more popular coastal towns and a few side trips if mountains or lighthouses are your thing. though you could easily spend several more days if you decide to stop for some of the little attractions - and they re definitely worth your time.have fun!
