Pick where you are starting and what you want, and the table lists every place we have a page for, nearest first. Times are rounded to 5 minutes and are estimates from OpenStreetMap road data (average of both directions, no traffic), not Google Maps. Add time for weather, roadwork and mountain roads.

How These Times Were Made
Each place has a map pin on its page. We asked the public OSRM routing service for the road time and distance between every pair of pins, averaged the two directions and rounded to the nearest 5 minutes. Lake Oroville is routed from the visitor center side of the lake, because the middle of the lake has no road. These are estimates, not a promise: Not confirmed against Google Maps for every pair.
What We Could Not Verify
Not confirmed: winter road conditions on Highway 70 and the Lake Almanor roads, which change with snow and closures. Check the road agency before you drive.
