Nope Cali is flat with nothing to look at especially along the coast.
Sac is about 2 hours west of Lake Tahoe. Which has some great scenery and some fun mountain roads.
Sac is also about 1 1/2 hours from San Francisco, on your way there you can stop in Berkely. And if you really want some nice roads and really nice views take the 4 hour trek to Pismo Beach and Monterey.
