Feedback on West coast trip route
Ok so from what most people here have to say I understand I should add
another stop between the drive from LA to SF (in addition to Carmel). Where would you recommend that stop be? Btw, I forgot to mention we'll be returning the car in SF, I understand there's no need for it there... Thanks, Danny Mimi wrote: wrote in message ups.com... Driving from Santa Barbara to Carmel will take all day not including stops Are you sure about that? According to Google Maps, the drive is 250 miles and they estimate 4-1/2 hours. What route is that? Does it include time on the slower Coast Highway? One really should drive at least part of the route along the coast, especially around Big Sur. It's one of the most scenic highways in the country. To the OP, I agree with the others. You will want to spend more time and another night on the drive from LA to Carmel. Also there are several things to do around Monterey/Carmel in addition to the 17-mile drive. Like visit the Carmel Mission and go to the Monterey Acquarium. And do you like golf? The 17-mile drive goes through/by Pebble Beach. Can you reserve ahead of time for Hearst Castle? Marianne |
