California road trip advice please!

The roads across the Sierra should be free of snow, but they may not be dry in all places, and not all high passes may be open by then (Tioga, others). However, the major passes are maintained year 'round and should be fine. DV will be nice and hot, and the wildflowers should be incredible this year. If you're considering a ride down the central California coast, I believe Hwy. 1 near Big Sur is closed indefinitely due to bridge repairs, but you may want to confirm.
