We are contemplating a DV trip early next month and thinking 395 should (notice I said should) still be ok. Has anyone made this trip in early November and did you have an alternate plan to compensate for bad weather and roads? We plan to monitor the weather before leaving and hope predictions are fairly accurate. We are rather new at this, but have managed to put over 13K miles on our trailer since February. Still, I plan to read the forum entries that could help if we run into freezing temps.Thanks for any suggestions from a new newbie.

Close to 2,000 miles a month? wow...I have found November to be a more windy time to travel than October.

Go for it Sueann; I would be amazed if you had problems. DV in November is not DV. It may be boring. Do it is August. It will not be boring.

If weather is snowy then once in Nevada go Hwy 95.

97 to K Falls and cut over to 395 at Alturis

Thanks all. To am hoping weather remains good for the trip.

395 is well maintained. If you get lucky and see snow (or even rain) just stay put a few days for all to clear. No worries.

95 is OK but from where you are coming from 395 thru Reno is more direct with more choices on fuel, eats and CG's to stop overnight.

Of course you'll will want to check weather and on 395 going over Mammoth is really the only concern.

95 down to Scotty's Junction and into the park from there is a good, maybe better alternative than 395 south of Reno.
