My next big trip is starting to take shape and I'm looking for suggestions for a route through northern California. Here's the scenario -
November 9th - 25th
Part I -
Lander, WY to Las Vegas, NV via southern Utah (Escalante, Zion & Bryce NP's)
- spending a week in Vegas for a business convention
Part II -
Las Vegas, NV to Brookings, Oregon - will spend 3 days in Death Valley then to....?
Part III -
Tillamook, Oregon (Thanksgiving w/ the family) across Idaho, back to Lander, WY
I have roughly 3-4 days to get from Death Valley to the southern Oregon Coast. I'm looking for a different route than my previous trips in NorCal and places to see along the way. I am interested in seeing the far northeast section of California, but I don't really know why or what's up there.
Considerations that I am and that I'm not considering -
As always, I'm grateful for any help.

Considerations that I am and that I'm not considering -
- Yosemite NP - I'm sure the Tioga Pass will be closed, so I'll skip the park
- Lake Tahoe - seen it but my co-pilot hasn't. We're likely to head this way.
- Lassen Volcano NP - never seen it, worth the drive up from Tahoe?
- Rt 299 from Redding to Eureka - driven it twice already, looking for something different
- Sacramento -over from Tahoe, to ATC, meet Ben & the ATC crew, then out to Mendocino and up the coast
- Lost Coast - very tempting and I've never been there. In November though? And it's a loooong way over from Tahoe or Lassen NP...
- Rt 89 from Lassen NP to Mt Shasta - The Cascades and Redwood Country? I'd love to see the big trees but could snow & road closures in late November be possible?
As always, I'm grateful for any help.
