From Redwoods down CA Coast

Need some suggestions. Want to continue on down the CA coast and take in Highway 1 with the Prius, NOT the motorhome!! :B (Please, don't need the "you can take the rig on it", we have been on it in the car before and I want to enjoy it again!!)

Question- stay on the north end of Highway 1 then drive the loop in Prius, going back north on 101? If so, where is a decent place to stay?

Or - take motor home south to some halfway point on 101, then back north with car and make loop that way? Where to stay there? Redwood Valley area looks about halfway.

Wouldn't mind staying around Bodega Bay area for several days either.

This is for our southbound trip back to Sun City AZ for the winter.

Thanks for any suggestions.
  • Ancient Redwoods RV in Redcrest is very nice. It's right on 101 in the midst of some beauties!

    Nice place to stay for the loop.

    .....and not having to worry what state you're in.
