If you really want to drive and have fun, I would suggest the following route once you get to far northern CA: - 36 east from Fortuna
- Pick up 3 north
- Take 3 north all the way to Yreka
- Pick up 96 west/south all the back down to 299 in Willow Creek
- Take 299 west back to Arcata/Eureka
These are beautiful and well maintained 2 lanes roads with plenty of opportunity for some spirited driving. Check out google street view along the route. |
That road looks like an absolute blast to drive. I'm not gonna make it up there but I'd definitely drive it on the way back if I ever buy a car from the NW.
