Make sure you let everyone know that not only is this an amazing road trip, but the Andruss Motel is the highlight of the entire 395!!
This is the California road trip most tourists never take. 🏔️🔥
Highway 395 runs through a side of California that feels wild, remote, and almost untouched. One moment you're exploring movie-set landscapes beneath the Sierra Nevada, the next you're wandering ghost towns, standing beside ancient lakes, or driving through some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in America.
Far from the crowded coast, this route delivers endless open roads, towering peaks, desert valleys, and hidden gems at every turn.
