Scenery
The route starts out a little slow. As you go farther down 8 the scenery becomes vibrant and colorful. The road to 101 and 101 has some very nice twisties and switchbacks. The coast is beautiful specially around sunset. Just watch out for deer at dusk.
Drive Enjoyment
This road has a lot of sweeping curves and a few twisties. Good quality through out.
Tourism Opportunities
The only roadside stops are at the small towns you will encounter.
This route is a great alternative to just taking I-5 to Oregon, the roads have windy turns and great views to make the ride enjoyable and go by faster. The bridge into to Oregon is awe inspiring view with great bar food on the other side. The worst part is it being over, but you get to go back.
