I guess that's a rough itinerary and you're looking for things nearby? There's Joshua Tree NP, Death Valley, Tahoe, Monument Valleu, Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Yellowstone, etc that are all a couple/few hours out of your route that are great and worth driving around in, but I guess they're pretty obvious. I hope you meant you just won't -stay- in the national parks, because if you go to the area and don't go in the park to not pay the entrance fee then it's a bigger waste of money to drive there in the first place. I don't think you'll come across anything in the US you haven't already experienced. Just watch out for speeding or cops'll eventually get you on a trip this long, and if you have foreign plates that might make them harder on you (to make sure you actually pay the fine). Drive down highway 1 from SF to LA. There's a cool beach with a ton of elephant seals just near Hearst Castle which is worth stopping at for half an hour. There are a bunch of hidden beaches in the cliffs around that area too, north of Hearst Castle up until Pebble Beach, but some places are private property so please respect signs. I've been to some secluded spot there but can't remember specifically where it was. The freeway through the Central Valley sucks unless you really love seeing endless, flat farmland with mountains in the far hazy difference.

Hitchhiking is illegal in several states (not sure which) though afaik only for the hitchhiker and not for picking them up. You're reasonably likely to not even see a single one on your entire trip, especially so since you're not going to campgrounds. I can't imagine how terrible of an experience it must be to hitchhike the American southwest in late spring/early summer, but even the few people who think it's romantic*~*~Kerouac aren't going to be sticking their thumb up on the side of the highway.
