[QUOTE="SacramentoMike, post: 1255764, member: 11508"] There are only two ways to get from Shasta to Yosemite. 1. The good way. 2. I-5 I recommend the good way. It involves staying in the Sierras all you can, lots of gorgeous mountain roads, and cooler weather. Ionbeam's post has lots of specifics, but to simplify it for planning purposes, [I]just stay in the mountains[/I]. The second part is easy too. "The redwoods" can be found from San Jose to well into Oregon in numerous locations, but the best density and the biggest trees can probably be found from The Avenue of the Giants, half an hour south of Eureka, and north from there, with groves in several locations, but they're pretty much all along 101. So stick to 101. Simple. Takes you up Crescent City, then you can go inland on 199 toward Grants Pass, another pretty road. Lots of places to stay, of course; state campgrounds, KOA-type places, and lots of motels, but you've picked the worst time ever for this trip, as you know, with Labor Day, so probably need to get some specifics and make reservations ASAP. Enjoy your trip. (+1 on skipping Reno.) [/QUOTE]
