Mystery Super Cheap
Looking for cheap places to stay on way down to San Francisco from Corvallis, OR (ie hostels, etc)?
Over spring break a friend and I are going to make our way down to San Fran to meet up with relatives. We will be leaving Corvallis, OR on late Friday morning (probably around 9:30-10ish) and need to meet up in san fran the following monday. From my research, however, OR doesn't seem to have many hostels T_T (im from the east coast). Any suggestions on cheap places to stay as we make our way down?
Any places near the follwing destinations would be super cool:
crater lake
shasta caverns
oregon caves
coastal redwoods
house of mystery
Muir Woods National Monument
Trees of Mystery (basically redwood forest)
Six Flags in Vallejo, CA
thanks =)
oh PS, we don't have a car and are taking buses and trains everywhere so... we need to be able to get to these places with public transportation
The places in Oregon are all on the coast Hwy 1 and cold and out of the way and you dont want to go that way. It will take hours longer. Either 101 or 5 is best. You could stop in Roseburg and go to the winery and watch the salmon go upstream at the hatchery. Oregon is known for its wine and blackberries.
Muir Woods is actually on Hwy 1 in Marin county so you could cut off in Sonoma county over to Hwy 1 at Bodega Bay (setting for The Birds) and drive south to Stinson Beach and Muir Woods, then cut over back to Marin county and 101 in Mill Valley, you will be 20 minutes from S.F. There is a seaplane ride over the bay there.
