farmerp Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I am planning a trip for N. CA. next week. At this point I am thinking of going to Lake Tahoe on Sunday this will be about 600 mi. On Monday I was thinking of going up the Sierra’s and over to Red Bluff and Highway 36. I would like to know what the weather is like i.e. what do I need to pack? Are the roads-passes open? I am also looking for routes there and for the return trip. I need to be back home (S. ID.) by Thursday. Thanks as always. Link to comment
Bill_Walker Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 36 is awesome. But if weather is typical, don't be surprised if you want a cooling vest in Red Bluff and your Gerbings when you get to the coast. OK, I exaggerate, but only a little bit. The climate changes dramatically as you go west. Link to comment
Danny caddyshack Noonan Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 After tornadoes in the Valley and snow in the mountains yesterday, next week should be easy to predict. For now, I'd guess good weather. Mountains in the upper 60's in the daytime. No passes south of 88 are open yet. www.dot.ca.gov will have any updates but, I don't expect any in the next week. Pretty much everything north of Tahoe is open road wise except 89 over Lassen. My guess on that is late July. Link to comment
