First week in August I'll be heading out for 4 days and plan to make it to the Redwoods and Crater Lake. Anyone that can suggest good routes or interesting things to see I'd appreciate it. I'll be on my FZ1. |

Click it and you'll get detailed info on the route including some pic's. Don't know how far down the Cali coast you plan to go, but from 101 go east on Hwy 299 to Hwy 96, then north to Happy Camp, then Happy Camp to Hwy 99 in Oregon is one suggestion. Another is east from 101 go east on Hwy 36, then follow Hwy 3 north. Mt Lasson east of Redding California is also a nice area to check out. Last edited by ZrexRich; 07-14-2012 at 08:01 AM.. |

 That's exactly what I was going to suggest. I've ridden this route many times and it's nice. The Redwoods effectively start on US199 perhaps 3/4 of the way between Grants Pass and Crescent City. The first time I ever rode 199 I remember encountering a "smaller" redwood around the middle of a LH corner. The edge of this approximate 5' circumfrance trunk (that's a small one!) was hugging the fogline...I was a bit startled by the sight. Stay sharp! Just continue south on 101 from Crescent City, as you're well into the Redwoods by then, and it's an entertaining road too. I definitely concur with doing a run east on CA 36 from 101; this is a road the more than lives up it's hype as perhaps the best twisty road in the state, at least on the side W of I-5. Except for a nice stretch on a mountain pass, the portion east of I-5 is boring & straight all the way to where it connects to 395, Susanville IIRC.

I was trying to find the route south of Oakridge, but I think you nailed it. Great ride. | |
