Dreaming of a West Coast Tour

Retrieved from: big-sur-road-trip-ca.jpg

Okay, so it can be difficult to write a blog about a place you have never been to. Most of us only dream about going to beautiful places but never actually get the chance to get away. I have always been told that dreamers are creative people so to that, here a few or four places I dream to eventually visit on motorcycle; it might take a touring bike to reach, however.

California North Coast, California

Ever hear of the mystically famous Redwood trees in California? I heard there is some so big you could cut a whole in trunk and drive a car through it! The above link takes you to a review of the California North Coast road, where these Redwood trees and Pacific Ocean coast come together to make a scenic route that is so beautiful it must be a dream.

Highway 299, California

So I pick these roads at random. With only reviews and interactive geographic maps at my disposal, it’s the closest I come to these places without actually dreaming. Highway 299 is a 143-mile stretch through the Shasta-Trinity National Forest that is covered with twisties and extreme elevation. Oh how I wish this were my daily commute to work.

Blue Mountain Scenic Byway, Oregon

The name speaks for itself. Although you do not here that much about the state of Oregon, it is still a place I would love to visit. This road or byway is apparently very scenic which leads you through a winding road that only experienced riders should travel on. It appears to be long, but I accept the challenge.

Out to the Ocean, Washington

Because Seattle is a city that is on my bucket list for places in America to see, this road is a perfect West Coast fit. I think they call it Out of the Ocean because it starts on the Pacific Coast and lead inland to Seattle. Perhaps a glass of wine and a classy dinner in the city would be the far point of this dream trip on my motorcycle.
