Tourist Traps | Travel Hwy 101

Tourist Traps

You should know what when we say tourist traps... we mean in it the best possible way. We LOVE stopping at Confusion Hill in Northern California, and taking in a tour of Ripley's Believe it or Not in downtown Newport, Oregon. We'll take our photo next to the Vampire Threat Indicator in Forks, Washington any day.

While the largest group of these tourist traps is in Northern California, you'll find cheeky and cheesy photo ops up and down the one-oh-one. Here are a few of our faves.
