Route from Eureka CA to Susanville CA

Nix on 36.

Narrow, no shoulder, very curvy.

36 from Red Bluff to Susanville is good for towing.

We are going that route next winter but because it's going to be winter and because we are going a bit south, we have decided to take Hwy 20 across. It would probably be way out of your way though.

At the moment, 36 is closed due to fire.

299 and 44 are good drives on Sundays, no road work. Suggest you check the link before heading out.

Definitely take CA 299 over to Willow Creek and then on to Redding, at Redding you can turn towards Susanville. CA 36 is a poor road for travel east of Mad River, do not take it with an RV in tow or a motorhome!
