If you have the time...

I'd skip most of the first part of the 101, and go for the 1 (costal hwy) instead to start with. Cross the Golden Gate bridge, and leave the 101 towards Muir beach. Depending on time and how many bends you wish steer the cat through, head for the 101 again via Willits, or keep on the 1 until the end of the hwy (Leggett). Then head for Eureka via the 101. You'll spot the signs for the "Avenue of the giants" along the road - the avenue, a 30 miles or so strip - follows the 101. The entire area above SF is just full of state parks. Some Googleing should return plenty of useful stuff.

Especially driving the 1, and the Avenue were impressive (when it comes to views and driving). Make sure to make time for some hiking - it's a really great area!
