Exit by Exit:  Food, Gas, & Misc.

Please note we do not include hotels.  Most people driving between the Bay Area and Tahoe want to get there as soon as possible and not spend the night, and if there is an emergency, there are plenty of chain motels along the way up until Auburn.  After that, please see our Overnight page.

We start our Exit by Exit  in Pinole, where the Richmond Parkway meets the mother road. Click an exit number or town name to jump to specific exit information.
