Near San Francisco or Los Angeles, and then road trip means you can drive?

5 days

San Francisco-Los Angeles, driving along the No.1 seaside, has a good scenery. The first stop is monterey/carmel. You can see many butterflies in pacific grove this season. Further south is the famous Big Sur sea view mountain climbing, and there are high-end holiday villas, so it's time to rest on the first day. Continue walking to San Simeon, where there is the famous heast castle, the prototype of the movie Citizen Kane, and there is a beach next to it where elephant seals gather to give birth (more in December-April). You can live in Morro Bay almost the same day, and there is a beautiful big stone in the middle, which is called Gibraltar in California. Further south, you can go to Los Angeles on the same day, and it's not bad to pass by San Babara on the way (there is a channel island National Park opposite, but the scenery is actually average). In Forrest Gump, Forrest Gump ran to the beach and said that the scene at the end of the world was there, but he might be tired of watching the sea all the way. No matter from Los Angeles to San Francisco or vice versa, leave a day to wander around the city and then walk back (6 hours). It's very warm all the way.

1 days?

You can play a small loop, take the above one in the first 4-5 days, and take the eastern mountain area when you go back. Winter is a good time to go to Death Valley (not the best, it is the best when it blooms in early spring, and the rest of the time is hot), and it is worth seeing by car. It is the lowest place in North America. If you are not afraid of the cold, you can go to Yosemite and Sequoia Park, which are already covered with snow, but the road conditions should be passable, except for some parts. After the game, go north to Tahoe, which is a ski resort in winter. If you like to play for a few days, you can gamble in Reno near Nevada, California if you have more money (or less money to get rich). The most annoying thing about road trip is going back. I'm alone most of the time. I'll be very tired if I drive the same way on my way back. If you don't have this problem, you can play all the way from Southern California to Seattle in 1 days. In addition to the things mentioned in the above five days, you should also go to Redwood National Park in Oregon, California, where there are the largest trees in the world, not one but a large area. Crater Lake in Oregon is the most beautiful lake in America, and then Tahoe. But it's colder further north, and there are not many people who like Seattle in winter.
