Driving to Burning Man from Seattle

How do I get to Burning Man?

gwally.com has some great information on this. For your convenience, I've entered Wally's four suggested routes into Google Maps.

An advantage of Routes 2 , 3 , 4 is avoiding the California Agricultural Inspection Station just north of Alturas, CA. It's no fun having your fresh fruit confiscated! These routes bypass Alturas.

These days, I always use Wally Route 4 to avoid the stress and delays of I-5 traffic (yuck!). It's also a beautiful drive!

Wally Route 1

This is the traditional boring easy route, with lots of I-5 driving. You will have to pass through an Agricultural Inspection Station entering California. It's also the only route that does not pass by Summer Lake Hot Springs .

(680 miles: Seattle → Portland → Eugene → Klamath Falls → Alturas → Cedarville → Gerlach → BRC)

Totally avoid I-5. This is my favorite backcountry route from Seattle to the Playa!
