Back in 2015, my wife, a friend, and I did a 5 week tour from Vancouver to San Louis Obispo. We primarily followed the Adventure cycling and book routes, but departed west from Portland to hook up with the Cascades route, took that south to Crater Lake, and then back to the coast for the last bit of Oregon. We also took a detour to Sonoma county before reaching San Francisco. It was just under 1800 miles.
Some thoughts: - Highway 1 has pretty heavy traffic in places on the CA coast. Not sure it would be suitable for a family tour. I was almost taken out by an RV mirror, but otherwise it wasn't terrible. Definitely helpful to have a mirror. - The climp up Bear camp road back to the coast in Oregon can be quite long and hot with no water in the summer. We paid a rafting company to shuttle us. - We ended our tour in SLO, after hearing the remaining journey to LA wouldn't be great. I recall hearing quality of campsites would be an issue. - Going inland in Oregon to Hood River, Cascade Lakes, Bend/Sisters, and Crater Lake was awesome and had many highlights of the trip.
