Bear in mind that some of the Santa Cruz area redwood parks were affected by the August 2020 fires. You can still find some old growth redwoods there, but check the park websites or call first.

i just saw that rte 1 is now open from the north from monterey at least to lucia, where my favorite monastery is located. dont know if it is now open all the way from ragged point but if it is, i would be sure to see san simeon (hearst castle) the drive from san simeon to monterey is one of life' s great joys. If you have not driven it (or even if you have a number of times, like me) give yourself a treat. there is more affordable lodging in Pacific Grove and Monterey, compared to, say, Big sur.

There’s a place in Monterey where rooms with ocean views are like $500 a night or more but it’s like a 3-star hotel at best.
So if Big Sur is more, I’d hate to see those prices.
Saw a headline about how to visit Yosemite this summer with the big crowds. Sounds like unless you reserved last year, you either pay a lot or go camping.
