Sorry to take so long to get back to you... yes, San Luis Obispo, Big Sur is just south of Santa Cruz. For Red Woods.. Muir Woods is just north of San Fran... but the big boys :shock: are at the Avenue of the Giants... just south of Eureka.

It sounds like Hwy 1 is on your must do list but of I could suggest something?
I would skip 1. It's beautiful and has great scenery, but nothing that compares to Yosemite. Drive from Tahoe through the Sierras...see where all the wheeling takes place in the mountains, , hit the Valley, then after Yosemite Valley take the side road to the Sequoia and see the largest trees in the world. All right in the same spot!
There is so much to see you will be amazed and it will leave a lasting impression. Then stay South to LV.
The 1 is a long, slow, over crowded drive that looks the same all the way down. But that's just my opinion of course.

Any particular reason why you are going through i80 vs i70? I80 really really sucks, and has a lot more traffic than i70, especially around Chicago. I'd take i70 if I were you. Why are you missing Colorado and Utah? Not places I'd want to miss if I have a jeep.

Thanks man! i think we will have to stick to the red woods this trip as Eureaka is a little high up off the path we have picked, but some day i will go there!
I cant skip it how many times will i have my jeep out there on a epic road trip, its kinda been on my bucket list to drive it in my jeep! Yosemite is sweet we are spending a couple days in the Lake Tahoe area to explore this might be on the list. thanks for the input i really like what i have been hearing!
We are taking I80 as it is the one that has the fastest time out to upper CA with out to much up or down traveling. I70 just does a little to much of that for us trying to get out there in a hurry. we might be missing it for now but i still have Moab after this!
