When travelling long haul, the temptation can be to fit in as much as possible.
Yet the West Coast rewards a different approach.
Distances may look short on a map, but winding roads and scenic stops encourage a slower pace. Trying to compress everything into one night often means missing what makes this region special.
A more balanced approach might include:
One active morning
One scenic excursion
One unstructured afternoon
Staying several nights allows each outing to feel complete rather than hurried.
Quality travel is rarely about how much you see.
It is about how deeply you experience what you choose.
