Route 299 Between Redding and Arcata
We are 40 feet with a Jeep.. Is this road a pretty good one? Thanks in advance

I personally call it puke highway.
Slow, lots of curves and as I remember three pretty good climbs, and of course decents on the other side. The first climb is outside of Redding at the west end of the lake. About two thousand feet in five miles of 25MPH road. Unless you like burning a lot of fuel, I would opt for either 20 around Clear Lake or 199 out of Grants Pass. Both are 10 times better.
