Plus, in November the odds are good that everything will be socked in, so the scenery will be obscured big time.

After Hood River, I'd simply rocket south on I-5 to Oregon Hwy 38, then out to the coast. Follow US 101 south along the scenic southern part of the Oregon coast and into the redwoods. If there's still time for the Monterey Peninsula, I'd shoot through San Francisco on the way south and spend a couple of days around Monterey, Carmel, and the Point Lobos nature reserve on the coast between Carmel and Big Sur.

Here's a map. Even with 9 days you're going to have to spend a fair amount of time in the car and will need to set priorities. https://goo.gl/maps/uvowEH6JV5Zz4g3c7
