Hwy 299 is a much better road than Hwy 199 which has king pin to rear axle and single motorhome length restrictions.

It is a good highway....I traveled it lot when I lived in Redding. Usually took between 2 1/2-3 hours.

if your heading south you would be better off going down to 20 and cross at Clear Lake. If your going north head up the coast and take the highway to Grants Pass. Either road is far superior of a drive.

It's slow and winding, with several hills. Just take your time and let others pass when you can. Watch for icy conditions in the winter. Road itself is in good condition, it just goes through terrain that makes for a crooked roadway.
