No problem. Reno itself is kind of an unremarkable high desert shithole, but there's plenty to do there.
If you go west a bit on I-80 the mountains are pretty in the Donner Pass area. You might want to bring your own food with you, though.
On the way back from Yosemite, after being stuck on two lane highways behind hordes of rude ass California drivers for a week, we opted to get to multi-lane highways ASAP and drove back through Sacramento.
One word of warning - stay away from Pyramid Lake. On the map you'll see a huge lake about the size of Tahoe northeast of town and perhaps think it might be worth checking out if you've got some time, but there's really nothing there of note except reservation cops who can apparently use their spirit guides to deduce that you are speeding on a road with no speed limit signs and give you a ticket. My best friend met us out there and got there a day early, and that was his experience. I would guess that Indians on a reservation in a state where gambling is legal tend to be a bit cranky.
