HWY 1 vs THE 101?
- Hwy 1 shows off the California coastline!
But with its winding roads & slow travel
it's difficult to make it a single 'Drive'.
Better to explore segments separately.
- The 101 runs north-south near the coast
following the many inland valleys
of the Coastal Mountain Ranges.
The 101 is a continuous freeway and
can be experienced as a "Drive",
a chance to appreciate California's
vastness and varied landscapes!

North of Leggett, 101 follows the coast
thru Eureka & Humboldt Bay
continuing past Crescent City into Oregon
finally ending at Tumwater, Washington.
