CA Discount Hotels near I-80 exits in Truckee California

If you are eastbound, you have ascended the west slope of the Sierra Nevadas and passed through Emigrant Gap and Donner Pass (7,239 feet elevation), site of the 1846 Donner party disaster. At I-80 exit 193 is the Donner Memorial State Park and Memorial (which includes a very interesting museum). The park also has a boat ramp (it is on Donner Lake) and excellent camping facilities. The camping facilities are usually thoroughly occupied but you can get information (and make reservations) by phoning the California Parks' central reservations desk at (toll-free) 1-800-444-PARK.

I-80 exits 194 and 195 in Truckee provide access Tahoe City, Tahoe Vista and other points around Lake Tahoe. A very scenic, detour takes you around the lake. The east side is in Nevada. A possible routing would be to take exit 194 and follow CA-89 to the lake and southward along the shore to US-50. Head east on US-50, back up along the east side of the lake.
At the junction of NV-28, US-50 makes an abrupt right turn to descend, steeply, down the mountain, to US-395 at Carson City (much to see, here). Head north on US-395 to Reno and View I-80 at exit 13. Of course, you may wish to take in Reno. Not the size of Las Vegas - nor as flamboyant - but it is easier to tour and certainly has its share of Casinos and museums.
