So if we did do Yosemite, we would then I think head back to the PCH (maybe to Monterey) enroute to LA, so we would miss the first part of the PCH. Again I have no clue about the PCH but would we miss anything significant if we didn't do this part?

See more...

You wouldn’t miss anything by starting the PCH in Monterey. We drove from San Fran to Monterey via Santa Cruz but didn’t take the coastal road. The best views are between Monterey and Santa Barbara. You must stop at Pfeiffer Beach which was easily the best beach of the 10 we visited. It’s a $12 entry fee but worth every cent, it’s located just south of the Big Sur
