Driven from San Francisco to Seattle 從舊金山 開到西雅圖




從舊金山SF 開到西雅圖。
去的時後走101, 如回程可走I5. 101沿著海邊開,風景真的很漂亮. 每天大約9點多出門, 也晚上九點多找到motel. 一天約400多miles, 邊開邊玩.這樣第二天晚上"就"可開到華盛頓州的aberdeen.

走五號的話, crater lake 千萬別錯過. 超藍,超美


Driven from San Francisco to Seattle in a day - a very, very long day.  The distance between the 2 cities is about 808 miles.  So you can expect the total drive time to be about 13 hours, not including rest stops.  So u'd allow 2 days for the drive.
Of course if u have extra time, there are some fabulous sights along the way!
If taking Interstate 5, you will pass Mount Shasta.  This is a beautiful snow capped mountain with a Lake that's a popular recreation spot. 
I-5 will take u through Ashland, Oregon.  Ashland is famous for it's Shakespeare festival that is held every summer.  They have a beautiful Elizabethan outdoor theatre. 
U can detour off of the interstate to visit Crater Lake National Park in Oregon.    it looks absolutely amazing.
I-5 will take u through Portland, Oregon's largest city.  Portland offers some good shopping opportunities.  Oregon State has no sales tax.  So if u plan to do shopping, it's better to do it there than in California or Washington. 
When u enter Washington, u can detour to see Mount Saint Helens . and Mount Rainier National Park.











































Another option is to take Highway 101 from San Francisco.  This highway will take u closer to the coast.  In California, 101 passes through the Humboldt Redwoods State Park http://www.humboldtredwoods.org/ and the Redwoods National Park. http://www.nps.gov/redw/   The Avenue of the Giants is a short scenic drive in the Humboldt that should not be missed. http://avenueofthegiants.net/  This is where u can easily get into the middle of some truly amazing trees.
In Oregon 101 will take you along the coast.  This stretch of the Pacific Coast is known for it's rugged beauty.  The area is dotted with small towns. 
Be aware that 101 is a slower road to drive than I-5.  So if u plan to drive any sizable stretch of it, allow for extra time.  There are several small highways that connect 101 and I-5, so you can easily cross between the two to catch the sights that are most interesting to you. 
The National Parks all have several campgrounds.  Some are RV, some are tent some are both.  Some take reservations, some are first come first serve.  Some are closed during snow months due to elevation.  U can find information on all of them on the NPS sites above.
If  wanting to camp outside of the parks, I recommend looking at KOA.  Kampgrounds of America is a national chain.  The good thing about them is they are easy to find and u know what u'll get.  www.koa.com
A lot of campgrounds are privately owned, in State Parks or on other Government own land.  The private ones can be a bit tougher to find in advance.  If u think u will be stopping in a state park or other Government property, u should be able to easily search for the area to find a campground.  For example, the State Park site for the Humbodlt Redwoods above, does list camping information as well.
