Redding to Reno

Sorry 89 out of Mt Shata via Mc Cloud to Reno map shows 89 to 44.
Appreciate the replies. I like scenic, however I do want to make some time also. I will be traeling from the north.

I went 44 to Susanville and 395 to Reno. Very scenic and I don't recall anything beyond the typical mountain driving experience. Beats the heck out of the interstates IMHO.

Little bit of confusion here. 89 mostly goes north/south and sharing the same route as other state highways. I would take 44,36,395 far a direct route.

Not the best of roads. Better would be I5 to Sacramento and I80 over the hill
