Heading East

We're visiting Yosemite and want to take a route east by way of Reno and through Denver. Any suggestions. Will eventually end up in Bedford, Virginia....have a Class A gas pulling a toad. Thanks for any advise, also we came west on I-40 and want to take a different route back. Would also like any suggestions for camping in the Tahoe area and Denver.
  • We enjoyed Zephyr Cove on the Nevada side at Tahoe.
    Some of the sites are a challenge for a big rig, but it is a beautiful stop.
  • From Reno take I80 to E. US 50 to I70 for a trip with little traffic.

    Hey, neighbor! Hope you are enjoying Yosemite, beautiful place.

    I took I-70 through Denver to go to Vegas a couple years ago. Beautiful route, but you will have a couple 11,000 foot mountains to cross. It'll be interesting to learn how well your gasser pulls those peaks, if you elect to go that way.

    I passed through Denver about mid-day, and so camped far from Denver, both sides. But do take a couple days to see the sights in Denver. Maybe pop north a bit to Fort Collins area and visit Rocky Mountain NP.


    Thanx.....we have been to Vegas and want to avoid I-40. I
    was lonoking at hooking up with I-80 and crossing into Nevada camping aat Tahoe and the catch I-70 to Denver ......
