What is the most Scenic Route between Vegas and Anaheim? Sort of torn between driving the old route 66 on going a little south and driving through Joshua Tree park.
Is it worth cutting through the Mojave Desert?
My plan is as follows take I 15N to Kelso Cima Rd which cuts through the Mojave then Catch the I 40 to Calico. From Calico I would take the 247 and then the 18 and through the San Bernardino Forest (Big Bear Lake) eventually catching Riverside Highway to Anaheim.
Still a boring scene. Big Bear is beautiful. I lived in Riverside and corona and Orange county. Riverside and all that area is nothing but desert. So nothing really scenic about it. Barstow does have the worlds largest thermometer. And there is an outlet mall. But outside of calico not much to see until you hit Big Bear. And coming down the mountain from Big Bear can get backed up depending on the time or the day coming down as well.
That's a nice drive. But be very, very careful and prepared along Cima. Few road services,My plan is as follows take I 15N to Kelso Cima Rd which cuts through the Mojave then Catch the I 40 to Calico.

The drive to Vegas is incredibly boring. There is nothing "scenic" to see. It's the desert.
Thank you for correcting me. Brain Fog….It's actually Baker that has the world's largest thermometer.
