Google has obviously never driven in SF traffic pulling a trailer!

The second leg of our upcoming trip is from Jedediah Smith State park in the redwoods to an RV park just west of Yosemite. Google shows going back up through Medford OR and then down I5 through Sacramento and turning east near Stockton onto Hyw 4.

Shows only a few minutes longer taking 101 through San Fran.

Theres also a number of routes that could be used east of Sacramento.

Any suggestions on which is the most enjoyable, scenic, less traffic?

Will be towing a 30ft travel trailer with a diesel.

Thanks

From Jedidiah Smith SP, take 101 south down to Hwy. 20. Head east on Hwy. 20 through Clear Lake then on to I-5 at Maxwell. Go south on I-5 to Hwy. 4 then go east. 101 through San Franciso would be a nightmare for me towing a trailer:( Can it be done? Probably but not a route I would ever consider when towing:( Be sure you already have reservations at Yosemite !!!! You might want to consider picking an RV park near a town near Yosemite. and arrange to take one of their shuttle tour buses/
