I’m actually getting excited for this upcoming trip to Bishop. It’s been a long time since I’ve been on a roadtrip. I usually fly to Hueco this time of year and rent a car, but there’s something special about driving for thousands of kilometers to climb. I’ve done the drive to Bishop 4 other times. Normally we go down the I-5 to Sacramento, then bust east towards Lake Tahoe. But a friend suggested we cut east earlier at Mt. Shasta. The route through Susanville is less kilometers, but also less time on the speedy interstate. What do you guys think?

Mt shasta is the fastest by far!! saves a bunch of hours and it is a beauty!
I’ve driven down to Bishop 6 times and I’ve done both routes. I prefer the mount shasta way simple because it’s a nicer drive. I would check the road to see if it’s closed due to snow… that has been known to happen.
