Here is a head start for that next journey and thank you for showing all that care to pay attention that there is a beautiful world out there waiting to be experienced. I have around much of the world and you are right, the Oregon Coast is amongst the most beautiful there is to see. So much so that we are retiring from WA down to Southern Oregon in the next few years. Safe travels!

Thank you so much 🙏❤️

Amanda that was absolutely beautiful photojournalism…thank you so much for sharing.❤

If there ever is any moments you wonder if making a video is worth it, know that you're inspiring. Took delivery of my first adventure bike last week and look forward to many miles and meeting of loke people. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

It used to be better before a large segment of society to leave of reality.

I just completed this route for the first time motorcycling, on a GS, during a fall storm... Glimpses of amazing beauty, through the fog and rain, as 20' swells hit the rocks... infilled with the sheer terror of only seeing 40' ahead on the tarmac. Choose the dates for this ride wisely

My husband and I used to travel down from BC, Canada down the coastal highway all the way to Southern Oregon every year, camped in the yurts, and explored the dunes on ATV. I was most looking forward to this section as it brought back so many memories. The Oregon Coast IS the most beautiful to drive and ride down.

Watching this video, it fills me with so much joy. The amazing sceneries, the bike and the road, the relaxing music and the beautiful calmness that you are. It all gives such a relaxed vibe. Thank you. It's because of people like you and ItchyBoots that last year on my 54th birthday, i decided to lose weight and get my license. Soon it'll be my birthday again. I already dropped 33kgs, am having weekly motorcycle lessons and am eying that cb500x in the showroom 😅

Well Amanda it was so nice to meet ya last night and was a honor to carry your helmet for ya. Crashed the bike on the long route to chelan. Went over a 50ft embankment and went over the handlebars. No broken bones, bike is cosmetically damaged. But still ridable. Love how ya clowned dork in the road last night, all in good fun. Have a safe trip outta touratech tommorow. Glad to have met ya😀

I never tire of the rain fly run around, and you always have such a great smile at the end. Stay silly my friend

Your signature flying cape routine always cracks me up.

Goonies never say die! 🤣 kept waiting for ol' One eyed Willy's pirate ship to sail by when you were filming

We know you had tough weather for much of this trip as the West Coast was hammered with precipitation which made tough riding for you but filled our depleted reservoirs to brimming up and down the state of CA. There are scores of us who would trade places with you but are self-limited by work demands so live vicariously through your adventures. Thanks for sharing.

Another great piece of moto photo journalism, thank you. As a fellow PNW rider, I was amazed by your aerial shots, so professional. I don't think your statement about the best part of the PCH is controversial at all, (1:45) it's just a fact. I moved a 1000 miles south, from PDX, for 4 years back in 2013 and most scenic drives in SoCal are not what you expect: too much traffic, too many people in a hurry, and too many hazards to truly enjoy the drive with Malibu being a shining example of disappointment. The route from SF north truly is where the gold is. I hope to ride the Oregon Coast and enjoy some moto-camping this Summer.

Nothing really compares to the Oregon coast. We go back again, and again.

I've lived in Southern California my whole life. I rode south from the top of Oregon on PCH a couple summers ago. This spring, I drove southbound on PCH from the top of Washington State and can proudly say I've travelled the entire length of PCH. Without question, the best part of the route is the entire length of Oregon to the southern end of the Avenue of the Giants. Thanks for taking me along with you to relive the route.

Have always loved watching the elephant seals around San Simeon. I would have to say everything north of Morro Bay is beautiful.

Oregon is definitely the best part of the Pacific Coast Highway. Really really enjoy Oregon. Bandon is one of my favorite spots

Nerd trivia about the Oregon Dunes: Prior to writing Dune, Frank Herbert was a reporter and he was assigned to write a series of articles on the Oregon Dunes. He became so mesmerized and inspired upon visiting, they became the inspiration for the novel - Dune. And that is your useless nerd fact for the day. You're welcome. :D

Beautiful. That rain fly dance always makes me smile.

I think I have like 3 - 5 subs that I give an automatic 👍🏽right at the start of the video because they always deserve it, and you're one of them. Thank you!

End Screen Crew: YES! I use to fly for a living and a few times a year would fly people from Scottsdale AZ to Coos Bay. One of my favorite trips and you just made me homesick for it. You also "almost" made me want to start cooking instead of popping the top on the Beefaroni. Lovely video, and perfect music. If I grow up I want to make videos just like you. I love when I find those campgrounds that are so me that I stay extra just to stay in the moment longer.

Yep. Convinced. Oregon is the best part of the PCH. Great photography, Amanda!

You are a master filmmaker. Your hard work and creativity have blossomed. Hope you're having fun!

100% North of San Francisco is THE best part and the OR coast is one of the most beautiful in the world. Another spectacular video!

Living on the Central Coast of California is a dream, but I must say the Oregon coast is more beautiful ❤

You are always welcome to stay for free at my house next time you wish to further explore the Olympic Peninsula, Washington. I'm in a beautiful rural area in the woods on acreage, just east of Port Angeles, WA. I've been following you on You Tube for several years. I really enjoy your videos.

Only time I've been to the left...erm.. west coast, was year 2000 (pre TSA, also last time I've flown). Wasn't on a motorcycle but in a rental minivan with my folks. Drove out of SF across the GG bridge. We didn't cut to the coast until Willits and then out to Fort Bragg. There's a fantastic botanical gardens there and highly recommended. Pacific was very windy that time and waves were spectacular to watch and listen to crashing in. Drove north through the Avenue of the Giants and eventually Eureka. East bound to Redding and south a spell to an uncle's house. Haven't been to Oregon but the NorCal coast and landscape was fantastic.

With a bit of encouragement from your videos, I bought a beautiful yamaha cruiser, strapped it down for bear and headed out on up the pacific coast highway starting at the Golden gate, up through Oregon, Washington, to Mt Rainier and rode the cascade mountain range all the way back down to California. Took me 3.5 weeks and 2,878 miles. Absolutely loved every moment! That was late 2020. Since then, I've moved to Oregon and settled into this beautiful state. I'm planning my next ride to Yellowstone soon. Thank you for the encouragement to get out and do the thing. It changed my life.❤️

The west coast is one of my favorite places. Thank you for sharing your rides with us…😊

Sorry your trip had to end so abruptly. You are one of my favorite KZreadrs, and I especially enjoyed this latest adventure up the California coast. I have an old Honda Valkyrie and someday hope to go on a similar ride.

Oregon is absolutely the best coast to ride on in the west and this comes from someone raised in the SF Bay Area. Living in Grants Pass, our favorite part of the Oregon coast is from Brookings to Bandon. Lunch in Bandon is awesome. Thanks for sharing your trip with everyone

Having family in Mendocino and Ukiah area, I'll definitely agree with you that north of the Golden Gate Bridge is the best area. There are so many hidden gem roads, dirt tracks, and other amazing sights to see. Easy to get lost for a week just poking around and camping where your moto takes you.

That is my favorite part of the PCH as well. It’s amazing and very peaceful. I live in Seattle. Riding town to the redwoods and back is my favorite week long ride. So very fortunate to have this coast so close.

I've ridden my bike from S. Alabama to the Pacific North West twice. With out a dout if I moved somewhere else. The Oregon coast is it. Enjoyed the video and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE! If you are ever in Hoquiam, Washington stop at the 8th Street Ale House and order the FARMERS HAMBURGER. Best HAMBURGER I've ever eaten.

Big Thanks Amanda for sharing your adventures with us. Good on you, riding till the money's all gone. That's how I did it when I was younger, in the 1960s. I don't ride anymore, but I still do things that way. Cheers !

Loved watching you on this segment! (We're the ones who met you a couple years ago at Oasis campground on the Deschutes River). Wonderful photography and editing music etc.during your S Oregon drive. We were surprised you didn't free camp at the Blue Heron Cheese Factory in Tillamook where we once stayed. Happy travels to you! Jennifer & John

Amanda, you make it look easy. Please keep sharing your videos. I love your little travel stories. I do hope you meet you one day and tell you how much I enjoy your video. See you down the road.

Amanda, I tend to agree with your "controversy", I'm a 70+ YO Central California lad who's done the PCH quite a few times by moto and by car. I'm totally jaded about that HWY 1 section Carmel to Morro Bay. Traffic has ruined it for me, especially on a moto. Probably never ride it again, I have plenty of pleasant memories I'd like to keep that way.

I'm from Minnesota and have gone to Oregon 20+ times over the last few decades as it is the best.

Oregon is for sure top for the PCH. Driven it many times from Canada via Washington on down and it never gets old. Thanks for sharing.

My partner and I have car camped almost all of the PCH between Forks, WA and Eureka, CA. It's beautiful between those 2 points. As a past resident of CA I can't imagine you could beat that chunk of the highway.

I got out and did the thing! First time motocamping was a success. You inspire me!

The Oregon coast is breathtaking! Thanks for sharing.

My favourite part of the PCH was always the northern section in California because of the big trees. That being said I haven’t had the chance to do the Oregon 101 and it’s now officially been added to my ‘roads I need to ride before I die’ list

Absolutely the Oregon coast is the best part of the coast. Love your videos.

I have rode my motorcycle a dozen times on the Oregon coast highway. Will never get bored along the coast. You have fun and stay safe.

One of my favourite parts of America when my wife and I rode two up around the world in 2018/19. It exceeded our expectations.

Thanks for sharing wonderful adventure. We are lucky to live in a land filled with amazing places to explore.

Nothing better then the Oregon Coast...and Yes you are correct....from SF up is the best!

So beautiful Oregon Coast line.... Miss it. Thank you for sharing. Safe Driving

Love following along with your adventures. We just got back from 1400 miles in France, Germany and Belgium. You inspire me to get out and do it!

Oregon is for sure my favorite part of the PCH. Especially once you start to go south of Lincoln City

Don't have to convince me I live here and grew up going to Tillamook and Seaside and Newport and Lincoln City. I have been on 99% of the coast highway on my bike at one time or other. Need to do it again all the way from South to North and stop at all the lighthouses again. They are my favorite things on the coast

Great ride of the coast ❤

Oh it so is. Flew to Portland and drove down to Coos Bay to visit a friend who had moved from WI. I knew it might be my only chance to see the PCH, and the whole way down all I could say was, man this would be a great motorcycle road. The whole time my travel mate who is terrified of driving in unfamiliar areas had a death grip on the armrest.

I’ve watched a lot of your videos and you go to some amazingly beautiful places. But the thing I’ve taken away from all of them isn’t the beauty of this country, it’s how kind and genuine your spirit seems to be. You are a joy to watch and listen to. Thanks for being a bit of sanity in a very screwed up world.

I love food, too! Thanks for sharing your great day!

Your sleep set up is so boss! I want! I'm rocking a mummy bag and a super narrow bed mat in a junior tent. Regardless of all that I really enjoy getting out so I think it's worth the investment in some quality accommodations. I didn't want to spend a fortune and not enjoy myself but I've been in thunderstorms, pouring rain and even a bit of snow and still found a smile on my face. It's adventure women like you that give me the confidence to try these things and expand my world. Thank you for the inspiration ❤🏍️🏕️

Agree 100% everything North of S. F. is the best part of PCH😁

Moved from Socal to Seattle area in 2016. Rode my Diavel up with the only rule staying as close to the ocean as possible. Big Sur gets the reputation for some reason, but agreed, north of San Fran through Oregon to the Washington Coast is the most beautiful part of the whole country.

And, yes, Oregon appears to be the best!

The patience of you loading up the bike is so calming

Fabulous Scenery Amanda, thank you for the great content, Safe Travels.

End screen crew question: No doubt! Unless you cross over to Victoria Island, then..................... ....................

Great series Amanda, thank you for taking us along with you. Keep up the great work.

Hello, in my last comment in one of your videos, I mentioned that I will be going on my 460 km long ride. That was my first. Your videos inspired me. Now I am waiting for more.

first hahaha. at 7:37 u made my mouth water, girl. yummy!!! the yellow calla lilies were so pretty. [i bought some recently] i've never seen them grow wild; so beautiful. i'd walk the dunes, too. nature at 0.25 speed lol. any part of riding thru green growing things and by moving water is the best part of any state. hugs, i love watching ur clips.

Awesome! Funny that i just came back from taking my wife and kids up there a week ago. Never been to PNW before. Went to Astoria (had to see the Goonie house), Multnomah Falls, and even McMinnville to see the Spruce Goose. Very beautiful scenery up there but I still love Tucson desert even when it is 110° 😂

You are 1 amazing woman! Hats off to you for living the dream.

Wow, holt moly! Thank you for sharing.

Haven't even started the episode. The commercials are still going. AMANDA POSTED AGAIN! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥. Looking forward to seeing the group at RMR 2023.

A better choice of traveling the coast is to go north to south. Most all the sights you would be stopping at are on the west side of the highway and being southbound makes it much easier to stop and enjoy them. Many folks will pass on stopping somewhere if it is hard to make a right turn with lots of oncoming traffic.

The Oregon coast is generally nicer to visit than the Washington coast for a couple reasons. The Pacific Coast Highway more closely followed the Pacific coast in Oregon than it does in Washington state. Second, there is much more public land along the Oregon coast than the Washington coast. These two things combine to make the Oregon coast more accessible. The Oregon coast has a lot of great attractions. The California coast is still on my bucket list. So can't compare it.

Thank you for putting these beautiful videos up for everyone to see!! I saw the Oregon Coast for the first time in June of 1983 when I drove the PCH down to SF. Since then I have always said that the Oregon coast is the most beautiful place I have been in North America. It is even more stunning on a foggy day. I have been in all the lower 48 and most of the Canadian Provinces and I still say the Oregon Coast is the most beautiful place to go. A close 2nd, for me, is Glacier Nation Park, but you have to hike in a way to get away from the road and tourists.

you have convinced me Oregon is the best part of the Pacific Coast Highway.

Looking forward to a future series of the PCH! Having experienced 101 from Rockaway Beach up to some section of Washington before making my way back to the main roads again for our hotel, it was a lovely drive and gorgeous to take in. Haystack Rock is a nice way to end the views.

Born and raised in So Cal yet I completely agree, north of SF is the best riding roads. I'll be doing your route in reverse this summer, Portland to SF and back. Thanks for info on what to do.

Thanks for your videos. I so look forward to these when posted. Awesome pictures awesome young lady. Keep safe.

Oregon is without question the best part of the Pacific Coast Highway

Okay now I have to add the Oregon coast Pacific Coast Highway on my bucket list😎

The PCH sure is a great place to go for a ride.

Point Reyes to Cresent City is hard to beat in my opinion. I really like what you do. Thank you.

I am truly in awe of your camera and video work. I really enjoyed this video

What a truly lovely record of your journey, all I want to do now is ride it! Thank you for sharing

We were staying in Klamath, just south for Crescent City last week. It wasn't warm at night for us, but I'm sure warmer then when you did it!

Wow! That looks beautiful. Definitely one of my dream trips

A- Z PCH. Epic Journey for sure.

Yet another great video . I just moved my daughter from Florida to Colorado last week . So now I will be spending time there and venturing further west.

Aw man you drove straight by the motorcycle shop I work at!

That is some very beautiful scenery. I've traveled up and down the Pacific Coast Highway a few times, but never into Oregon and never on a motorcycle 🏍.

Excellent video as always, that coast line reminds me of the west coast of Scotland both absolutely stunning, all the best from 🇬🇧,

Another great video, the good days always make the journey worth the time.

I live in McMinnville - It's literally a quick hop on over to Lincoln City, if I have time for a longer "pleasure ride" (which, i have 2 kids and work full time... doesn't happen often) I will always head out to Lincoln City just to be at the coast! I've been having back problems on my most recent bike... and kinda stuck with it due to the loan, so i've been taking a lot of trips out that way lately just testing different things as well... went from Mac to Lincoln ciy up 101 until i hit seaside and took 26 back over to banks, back through forrest grove back to Mac.... it's a blessing and a curse :)

so yes, I absolutely love the coast here!

I much prefer the PNW to California in all ways, and it's no surprise to me that Oregon is the most beautiful part of the PCH. So I agree with you, so you didn't convince me, but you definitely reaffirmed what I already believed.

From a pure scenic and rugged perspective, I think Carmel to San Simeon is pretty damn incredible. However, having spent a significant amount of time on the Oregon coast, it definitely has many more camping and recreation opportunities. Plus, the color of the water is amazing. But, coming from a Californian, I cannot understate that the traffic here is nothing less than utterly ridiculous! I will also say that my worst day on two wheels is far greater than my best day on four wheels!! 🏍️ 👍🏻
