A list of our favorite places, plus sites that we want to go to but haven’t seen yet, in Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah. Because the western U.S. is so big and so full of awesome sights to see, I’m dividing them up, and I’ll list the Rocky Mountain states and Southwest states in my next post.

We parked the RV in a campground along Hwy 101 southeast of Monterey, and took a day trip in the car along the northern section of the Big Sur coastline, from Monterey to Pfeiffer Beach on Hwy 1.
