Either highway will be fine. They are both modern roads, as straight as can be and as wide.

The real issue will be getting to Big Sur on PCH (Pacific Coast Highway). There have been some issues of late. California High Patrol traffic hotline or a direct call will be the best source for info on PCH.

Good Luck!

680 to 17 would be a good way to Santa Cruz. Then head South. As posted taking 1 through Big Sur can be a massive PITA. It was closed because part of the road ended up in the pacific last year. They were also doing a lot of work because of the fires. I think it is CalTrans website has updates.

might take 101 to Paso or San Luis Obispo then North on 1. It really is a nice drive with little towns and Elephant Seal vista. The vista is awesome and even better if the wind is blowing out to sea.

Just noticed your post about Oregon as well. Looks like a great trip you are planning. we live about an hour from Hood River. Check out Mount Hood RV Resort in Welches Or. might be too far away but very nice wooded spots.

Both campone.com and the forest service websites say the western part of that road is closed. You will have to access Ponderosa campground from 101. Looks like a long drive to see the ocean.

You might consider finding another campground but most will probably be booked. We are currently in the KOA in Moss Landing. Spaces are tight, but it's close to Santa Cruz, Monterey and about an hour from Big Sur (depending on traffic). We extended our stay because someone cancelled.

Good luck.

Back to your original question, 680 to 101 can have a lot of traffic.

If you are still going to Ponderosa then 5 to 152 (at Santa Nella) to 101.

If you find a place farther south, then 5 to 41 through Paso Robles to 101. And 46 to 1.

Do NOT take 198 through Coalinga. Made that mistake last month.
