3. Rio Dell to Blue Lake
RIO DELL TO BLUE LAKE – 87 MILES
Rolling farmland makes way for tight forested roads as you leave Rio Dell. Redwood House Rd ascends deeper into the woods toward the furthest inland portion of the route yet. Showers Pass is a flowy dirt road high in the hills, with switchbacks galore and sweeping views through this emblematic grassland. Mountain View Road descends into more woods and meanders back to Kneeland Road and the ridge crest. The last stretch on Maple Creek brings even more twists and turns, full of panoramic views as you descend into Blue Lake. Here, the casino offers lodging, food, and fuel. Reservations in advance are recommended.
