I want to take a road trip and I'm not sure where to book a hotel for the night. We will probably drive 9 or 10 hours the first day. Where should we stop?

Yeah I did mapquest and all but I just thought someone that made the trip might have a suggestion. Since we are three women travelling alone, we thought having a little more than a point on map might help us pick a good place to stop :)

You could take the I-5 and be incredibly bored.
But here's an idea.
At Grant's Pass, OR, take US 199 down to Crescent City CA.
Crescent City is the gateway to Redwoods National Park

Take US 101 down the California Coast into San Fransisco, right across the Golden Gate, then get back on track to LA.
One of the most awesome drives in the world, right thru the heart of Redwood Country.

I actually live in Seattle. I looked it up for you, the entire trip would take about 17 hours. Your best midway point would be Redding California if you travel on I-5 which I'm assuming you are because its a direct highway to LA. You might be able to make it to Sacramento if you want to stay in a bigger city though. hope that helps. Oh and I have made the trip with my mom when i was about 14, Redding isnt a bad place to stay at all and there should be hotels right off the interstate.

According to the site in the source section, half the travel time would be 8.75 hours. Half the distance would be 569.02 miles. Half way through would be around Eureka, CA which is 586.23 miles from Seattle. It is 9 hours and 48 minutes from Seattle. However, I don't know if it's that great of a place to stay. I've never been there. But for information on Eureka, go to http://travel.yahoo.com/bin/search/travel;_ylt=AkM_rzopmcdeWoCzasxh8HWhpYMA?p=Eureka%2C+CA.

Mount Shasta, CA is our traditional halfway point. It's a 22 hour drive all the way from Seattle to LA

I have been browsing the internet more than two hours today searching for answers to the same question, and I haven't found any interesting debate like this. it's pretty worth enough for me.

Redding is about halfway with plenty of hotels.

Just out of curiosity. If there are three of you, why do you say you're traveling alone?
