Hwy 1 north of the bay area vs. big sur?
I've seen a post or two saying that the north part was even better. Not having been to either, can you folks tell me more? I am daydreaming/planning for a future trip. So much to see! I could ...

I like both with no choice one over the other.
My favorite trip is to take HWY 1 from San Luis Obispo north through San Francisco all the way up to where it connects again with Hwy 101 in Leggett.
Then I travel north on Hwy 101 north up to the Oregon Border. Turn around and follow Hwy 101 all the way back to Los Angeles area.
Great coastal views, redwoods, San Francisco, wine country, fun and quirky tourist traps, great food stops, quaint villages and more.
This trip consists of narrow winding roads along the coast and through the Redwoods. I just take my time and watch out for idiots pulling out from hidden side roads. Stop for each night before sunset.
The alternative is to go up I-5 and come back Hwy 101 if you prefer a safer route.
