Driving from Los Angeles to Seattle? Nervous about the roads. Can I do it?
My son and I want to drive up to Seattle in Sept, then bus over to Vancouver, BC to take the Disney Cruise back to Los Angeles. We were wondering how the drive is on the I-5, if there are curvy roads and mountains to pass through. He gets a little sick on curvy roads, and gets bad plugged ears in high altitude. I drove a city bus for 20 years, so I have experience. We may stop in San Fran for an overnight rest. Opinions appreciated.
Thanks~
You can take I5 the entire way up.
You’ll have “altitude” going through the Grapevine and over Siskiyou pass from California into Oregon. Siskiyou pass is about 3500 feet high. Tejon pass (the Grapevine) is about 4400 feet.
It’s interstate driving the entire way, and not particularly curvy.
If you are planning to stop in SF at the end of day one, you’ll probably need to plan another stop in northern California or Oregon at the end of day 2 – Medford Oregon, or Eugene Oregon would be good places to consider.
While winter weather can happen at any time, September is a pretty low risk time of year and the weather and driving conditions should be clear.
