Is this possible in a week? or 10 days? Highlights we don't want to miss are Columbia River locks and fish steps, Salmon fishing, Oregon coast, crater lake, redwoods. Please give me more ideas not to miss, best routes, etc. This is your chance to plan our trip. Probably in July. Kids are 14, 11, 7 and 4.
Hello Randy,
Your trip is very enthusiastic. I assume you are driving a RV of some kind as opposed to a car. The question you have to decide is "What kind of RV experience do I really want"? A marathon or a more leisurely enjoyable RV experience.! What do you want to do once you get to each of your points of interest?
Some food for thought:
1. In general, most RVers typically drive 4 to 5 hrs. per day, 6 to 7 hrs. per day is doable but will physically take a toll. You will be actually driving about 5 days for the round trip. 6 or more hrs. per day will also be hard on the kids as well.
2. You might consider just doing the Oregon part of your plan and do the San Francisco trip on another trip or vice versa. Personally, I live 4 hrs. from S.F. and would not tow my RV there, too much traffic and limited RV parks. Another alternative would be to do all your Oregon plans, then take a plane from Portland to S.F., rent a car, find a hotel, then explore S.F.
Just some thoughts, let us know what you end up doing:)
