Laughlin to Carson City
We're in a 40' DP with a toad. I know we can take the 95 east of the mountains, but looks kinda boring and deserted. Wondering what the drive is like along the 395 north. I'd prefer not to spend my...

We enjoy 395 heading N. The mountains are beautiful and the drive offers good views of Mt.Whitney. Bishop is a very nice town. We have stayed at Highlands RV on N side of town. Lots of gas stations and a large Von's grocery and K-Mart.
Further N you will pass a lot of spectacular scenery including Mammoth Mt, Mono Lake, Twin Lakes. Beware stopping for gas in Brideport as they have a reputation for being highest gas prices and it's well earned. We fill up in Bishop.
The only climb that is worth noting is just N of bishop; It's a long, steady grade but nothing to worry about if you take it easy. We travel it quite often, towing a 33' 5er. It's a well maintained divided highway. There is another climb past Mono Lake but once again it's not difficult if you take it easy.
There is lots to see/do on 395 if you have time but if just driving through the scenery is worth the drive.
