Northern California and East

[Deleted member 2626]

I've only ever spent a night in North cali right across the nv border outside of Reno. But I will tromping down towards there again from Oregon either I-5 or some secondary roads. Plan to head towards Reno then back south depending on my winter plans. Any good towns, forests, etc? Definitely not looking for a roaddd dawggggh or anything. It just curious on other people's enjoyments of the region. I love those mountains and plan to do some basic hiking to get around.

Just drove up through the eastern Sierra to Bend. It is definitely worth going to the Travertine hot Springs in Bridgeport. Going to Bishop and experiencing the town. Taking the Sonora Pass, or Tioga pass over to the west side of the mountains.

In my opinion, the best places are south on the 395 from Reno. Except for the Modoc National Forest up by Susanville, of course.

There are also many awesome hot springs in northern nevada. Too many to list. Google them, they will not dissapoint.
