Life really is about the journey — not the destination. And nowhere is this more evident than along Highway 101 in Oregon. This coastal route cruises through California, Oregon, and Washington, offering not only spectacular sights but also unsurpassed opportunities for off-road adventures. This is especially true in Oregon, where Highway 101 spans the length of the eponymous Oregon Coast: 363 miles of pure, PNW splendor. Sea stacks and tide pools, verdant green foliage and black basalt cliffs, lighthouses, and sand dunes — this is the Oregon Coast, and Highway 101 isn’t just one of the best scenic drives in the USA, it’s also the perfect place to have an epic adventure, both on and off-road.
