New Jersey to California

Good idea is to stay in Williams Az and use the railroad to the canyon, great campground by the train.

How much time do you have?
What are your interests?
There's a lot of country to be seen between NJ and CA. You could take 6 days to make the trip or you could take a lifetime and not see everything that is interesting.

Try not to take the 8, down by Yuma AZ. Instead, use the 40, going through Kingman AZ. Stop to see the Hoover dam. Head over to a casino in Bullhead City. When it comes to the PCH, there is just too much to list..... Do you have Carlsberg Caverns on your list of stops? Right now is the time to leave. It still hasn't hit the 100's in AZ or Texas....

I should have said…”La Cuesta Encantada” (Spanish for "The Enchanted Hill")

Stay a night or two at Hearst San Simeon SP near Cambria. Dump, water, cell and internet available. And a night or two at Plaskett Creek USFS campground 40 miles north of Hearst. Both are on CA1, the Pacific Coast Highway. Water available but no electricity, dump, cell or internet at Plaskett. It’s a doable drive if you pay attention from Morro Bay to Monterey. If the Castle is open, see what Hearst built and gave to California.
