If you are coming from Simi take the Hwy14 through Phelan and hookup with I-15 to I-40 and go that way. Much easier and faster.

Just confirms, I am an idiot. My bad. Are you close to Hwy 62 at all? If so, then climb the hill into 29 Palms and head out Hwy 62 and hook up with Rice Road and go that way. Very scenic and peaceful. I do that every now and then just to change it up.

2 21/2 hours tops, I have to tow my boat to RD's from the border of Needles and bullhead all the time. So add Rice Road to that, there you go!!!

THOR <--- trying to save face.I like to get into 29 and head towards the base and catch Amboy Road . It's a little rough in spots but geezus, can you make some time on National Trails Highway (old 66)!

..or if you have a badge!..seriously, I set the criuse control to about 92-93 and never had to stop it once. I was pretty proud...one of those drives where you want to be home so bad, and don't give a flying F if you get pulled over :)

[Hardly Satisfied]

It's faster by plane
