What is the most family friendly route from Portland to Los Angeles
The drive will take about 46 hours without stopping but if you're with kids its inevitable to stop. It's a good thing along the main highway you'll be able to pass through some creek and forest parks that should be interesting enough for the kids.
Then you could take the Pacific Coast Highway for more wonderful sites and places worth staying at. This will surely make your trip a memorable one. Just make sure you'll have a lot of extra time prepared for your land travel.
