Ron, we just drove this stretch to Redding a couple of weeks ago. Very scenic and pretty with lots of color showing up. It wasn't too crowded this time of the year and there are plenty of passing lanes for people to go around. And yes, there are plenty of 15mph curves. Our biggest problems were the long and slow down grades that caused the brakes to get plenty warm even going slow and using the engine to slow the monty ( 3582 ) down. There was major construction going on as you near Redding where we were delayed about 15 minutes twice. Make sure you have plenty of fuel as there was only one place that was easy to get in and out of in Weaverville.
