San francisco to Lake Tahoe scenic route

Hi,

Could you suggest a scenic route from San francisco to South lake tahoe? We%26#39;re travelling during the thanksgiving weekend, so I think the weather is going to be good.

Which is a better route to take,

highway 4-89 (I read somewhere that Arnold to Markleeville is very scenic) OR

88-89 via Jackson

OR 50 via sacramento?

Thanks in advance!

Your in luck, Highway 4- Ebbitts Pass is still open. It is by far more scenic than hwy 50 or 88. I had a friend that drove over hwy 4 for the first time, and he kept telling me how scenic it is. Be advised however, about 25 miles is only a lane and a half wide with no white line down the center.

Here is my rating on the scenic routes through the central Sierra:

1. Tioga Pass -120

2. Sonora Pass- 108

3. Ebbitts Pass- 4

4. Carson Pass-88

5. Monitor Pass/Luther Pass-89

6. Echo - 50

7. Donner Pass- 80

Just my opinons, but I travel over all of them multiple times each year.
