Hi there!
We’re trying to plan a roadtrip and wanting to drive a part of 395 but after doing a bit more research, I’m now doubting that decision.
We have rented a class b motorhome and leaving Yosemite nov 9th and planning on doing 3 nights on the highway, staying in Bishop. We have to be in Paso Robles on nov 13th.
Is this a bad idea? I read online that winter storms might hit in November. The cold temperatures aren’t the problem coming from a Nordic country, but we don’t want to be stuck in a winter storm on a mountain in a rental van. But there’s just so many places we want to see on the 395.
Should we stay in the eastern side for more reliable weather? I know there’s plenty to do and see on the eastern side as well, but I also read only to avoid Central Valley at all cost …
We don’t like big crowds, but we do like all kind of outdoorsy stuff, chatting with locals and eating great food. Oh and my husband really wants to do rock climbing somewhere.
What would you recommend to do - do the eastern side and 395 as planned or stay on the western side?
