Mt Shasta to Tahoe

Looking to go from Mt Shasta (Lake Siskiyou) to Tahoe. What is the most RV friendly way to get there (I am pulling a 44 ft. 5th wheel Toy Hauler). Thanks in advance.

Steve.
  • Wow that's a tough one. Mountain roads with climbs and descents no matter how you get there.

    For the least amount of time on a mountain road, my first thought would be I-5 south to Hwy 50 east to South Lake. I've done it with a 23ft TT but nothing larger. HWY 50 is a winding road in most places and two lane with some 4-lane sections or passing lanes.

    The other option would be I-5 to I-80 east to Donner Pass and then south on Hwy 89. Never done this with an RV only by car. My choice would be Hwy 50 route and take your time.
