Any steep grades from Reno, NV to Brookings, OR?

Donner Summit is the pass on 80.

What about taking I 80 to Hwy 20 and using that to go over to Eureka and going up 101. Its certainly not a steep grade except for the 80 over the mountain range that the name of completely escapes me. (By Tahoe)

This would be my recommendation also. However, I80 out of Reno over to Sacramento and I5, north to Williams and take 20 over to 101 and then north to Brookings would be my 2nd choice.

395 does not cross to I5. It runs parallel. From Reno you are going to have to cross the Sierras or Cascades somewhere? I80 is probably the most common. Or you could go up 395 to Alturus, joh over to Klamath Falls, cross the Cascades around Crater Lake, I5 to Grants Pass to 199. All of them will have passes, none of them are hazerdous to your health.
