Rides of a Lifetime: Pacific Coast

This one has it all: wild, rugged coastline; steaming rainforests and towering redwoods; windswept alpine heights; rolling hills covered with golden grass; and enough civilization to keep things interesting. Anchoring the beginning, middle and end of this road trip are some of the most lively, fun and downright eclectic cities in the country. And in all those places in between, there’s no shortage of beautiful, sleepy, lost-in-the-mists-of-time small towns and villages that make touring the back roads worth every extra mile. So, start your trip with a strong cup of joe in one of Seattle’s almost numberless coffee shops, then finish your journey in San Diego as you watch a sunset. Behind you will be 3,300 miles worth of the best kind of memories–created by your Ride of a Lifetime. 2016 edition
