Default Carson City to LA

Greetings all,
I am heading to the LA area next week and would like to take a different route home. Heading down the 395 to get there, but looking for different scenery for the way home. Any ideas?
Thanks !
Kirt

How about 101 back from Santa Barbara up to the SF bay area then over 88 up through the Sierras. I moved from Sparks 2 years ago so my wife cold be treated for Cancer and each time I go home to Reno I try to find a different route cause from Vegas to Reno is just butt ugly. The 14th my GF and i are leaving to go to Reno to visit friends but we are going by way of Petaluma so she can visit family so I decided to go from Phoenix to Santa Barbara then up the 101 into the bay area. We went the opposite this last June from Eureka down the 1 to Santa Barbara then the 10 back to Phoenix so I want to see what the 101 looks like from SB to SF.

Although its not scenic... I live in so cal and have family in Truckee. I usually travel 99 up then to 80 but you can just as well go 5 out of so cal to 99 to 50 into Carson City. Otherwise as mentioned for more of a coastal route hit 101 then cut over back to the 5.
