Rt 395 California, North To Tahoe- Elevation Gains?

Recommended Posts

Am planning a trip from Arizona to Lake Tahoe and the northerly route 395 from Bishop to the Lake Tahoe area would be a direct route for us.

Am wondering if the terrain is very mountainous or just more rolling hills in the valley along the edge of the mountains.

Have a 38 ft. diesel with a 300 Cummins and will be towing.

If any of you have traveled this route, please give us your thoughts.

TKS

I have driven that route in my MH twice, 36' 350 Cat C-7 towing a Mustang GT convert (3300 lbs) or Acura MDX (4400 lbs). For the most part it is rolling hills, all 2 lane, you do go over an 8000 ft pass north of Bishop, I had no problems on either occasion. You will find it slow going through the many small towns along the route.
