Kartgv Posted July 15, 2013 #26 Share Posted July 15, 2013 For extensive information on the drive between San Francisco and Los Angeles, check Cruise Critic's sister site, TripAdvisor. Here's a link to the California forums, which work pretty much like the CC boards: http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowForum-g28926-i29-California.html There are MANY threads about this drive as well as a "FAQ" section on the top right side that includes much relevant information. You can also do a search for specific information just as you can on CC. There's another section that specifically covers "Road Trips" that might offer some other tips: http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowForum-g1-i12567-Road_Trips.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kentchikan Posted August 13, 2013 #27 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Whenever I drive 5 (or as Southern Californians say The 5). I always imagine Rod Serling standing at the beginning saying: "Picture if you will a lonely highway." The only good thing on 5 is Harris Ranch which has good food. Other than that the only advantage is speed. Since your on vacation take 101 and enjoy the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted August 13, 2013 #28 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Traveled up and down the 5 last weekend. Most of the reststops were open. Some were still closed, thankfully we didn't need to stop. It was more interesting traveling at night than during the day. Saw 2 owls. CalTrans is working on the northbound lanes (tearing the road down to the dirt), just south of Pyramid Lake.
