Default Road Trip Ideas

Looking for ideas of different places to go for a short 3 day road trip.
Starting location will be Reno, Nv
Would like to ride 8-10 hrs to get there, spend a day at location, then ride back. Short, sweet and simple. So if anyone has any hidden gems out let me know. thx

I'd look at 395 N to 89 to 299 thru Redding, then over to the Coast at Arkata ( that might be a day there)
and up through the Redwoods on 101 into Oregon.

When you are ready to head back, pick up I-5 to Sacto and turn left on I-80

Hwy 70 down the Feather River Canyon to Chico/Oroville via Quincy (weather permitting), then either:

a) up to Red Bluff or Redding and either 299 or 36 to the Coast
b) scootch across the valley to Winters (off of 505) and take 128 to the wine country.
