It's reported to be some 4-5,000 miles worth of driving, riding or walking depending on how you wish to transit it. It follows the coast line and is very scenic.

Well worth the drive and a lot of scenic and historical places to stop along the way. Very few buses so the trip was enjoyable. Plenty of stops off the beaten path

Alan and Nathan were the best! Alan is a very knowledgeable about the areas/history and a very safe driver. Managed time well and provided opportunities to stop and get out for sightseeing. Funny...
