San Francisco Area Insider TipsThe Inside Scoop From Seasoned I-5 Travelers
Gas up in smaller towns; Prices spike dramatically at isolated freeway stops. Fill up in Tracy, Stockton, or other actual towns off the highway.
The Grapevine (south): If heading toward LOS ANGELES, this mountain pass can close in winter and has brutal truck traffic. Check conditions ahead.
Dust storms in summer: The Central Valley of Northern California gets sudden low-visibility dust storms. If you hit one, slow down immediately.
Food deserts: There are long stretches of Interstate 5 that have only gas station food. Plan your meal stops in actual towns like Stockton, Modesto, or Bakersfield.
