some "scenic routes" have lots of trees and guardrails so you can't really "see" much, but this is a great route along the coast. Perfect drive. Be sure to stop at the lighthouse, overlook, and octopus tree. Great views!!! More

This is one the finest scenic drives in the nation! I am kind of used to this stuff as a western Washington native,but this is a NICE! drive!!!! Going out to Cape Flattery in Washington is one for your once in a lifetime drives, but Three capes is BEAUTIFUL and easy off of 101. Don't pass this up. More
