These mapping programs usually just choose the fastest route - using various estimates of speed based on road type. That tends to favor the freeways, even if it is a bit longer. Switching to a 'shortest route' option might go through the mountains. Also try turning off 'freeways/tolls'.
And on GM, try dragging the route around to see alternatives. Note how distance and time varies.
It can be tricky to match a route with dining spots. Can you tweak the route and time so you end up a diner at lunch time? Or camp close enough to use it as a breakfast or dinner stop? It's easier to combine motels and restaurants.
