from seattle, this is what mapquest gave me:

Merge onto I-5 S toward PORTLAND. 523.7 miles

5. Merge onto CA-89 via EXIT 736 toward MC CLOUD/LASSEN PARK. 78.2 miles

6. Turn LEFT onto CA-44/FEATHER LAKE RD. Continue to follow CA-44. 45.9 miles

7. Turn LEFT onto CA-36. 10.2 miles

8. CA-36 becomes US-395 S. 89.7 miles

9. Merge onto US-395 S via EXIT 57B toward VIRGINIA CITY/CARSON CITY/SO LAKE TAHOE. 148.2 miles

10. Turn RIGHT onto MAMMOTH SCENIC LOOP. 5.8 miles


Now, does that sound like the best way? or is there another way that's gonna be faster?

would take the sanitam pass over to bend then go down 97 to la pine, get on 31 which will turn into 395.

message me if you want more exact directions, I live in tahoe and my parents live in portland so i do the drive from here to there all the time.

chris we should take the route map quest gave; from shasta to reno. its the best looking at maps, going to sacramento adds like 130 miles, going east further north adds miles too, plus slower little highways and stuff

I-5 is slower, you can drive 90+ from bend to reno. I do the drive ALOT. I can make it to bend in 5.5 hours if i haul ass.

sierra is much better, thats where i ski.
