High Serrias
For you Northern California types:
One route we are currently considering for this Summer includes a leg from Carson City to Jamestown. I've towed extensively in the Rockies and have no problem with places like Monarch or the Million Dollar. However, We have no experience with the specific roads and routes in the Sierra.
My trip planner warns of low clearance on U.S. 50 in Nevada along the East side of Lake Tahoe and the trucker's atlas agrees. That is fairly easy to avoid.
Now my question.
The Trip Router wants to send me down Highway 4 through the Stanislaus NF via Tamarack to Angle's Camp.
From the map there are two options
1. Highway 88 through Kit Carson to Jackson then down 49 to Jamestown.
2. North to U.S. 50 at the South end of the lake, through Placerville and then South.
One and Two are about 35 miles longer than the base route. None is a long day and either 4 or 88 appear much more scenic than 50 but I have no idea how "drivable" they actually are with a 35 foot fiver.
Tell me more!
Thanks
