- Marv_HoagExplorerFrom Bakersfield, Hwy 58 to Barstow. I-40 all the way to I-25 south into Texas. If you have not been to Meteor Crater (about 20 miles east of Flagstaff) that might interest you. RV park right off the Interstate.
- raygregExplorer58 out of Bakersfield
- 4aSongExplorerRecommend I40 but just to be safe keep an eye on the weather in and around Flagstaff.
- IslandmanExplorer IITake I-40, there's much more to see. Chance of snow next week is slim to none, so enjoy your trip. try to work in Sedona, Yuma (Territorial Prison), old Route 66 where you can and other places. Just pay attention to weather forecasts and if necessary, hole up for a day or two until weather improves. Too bad that the federal parks are still closed, but there's plenty of other places worth visiting.
- artguysExplorerIf you're doing the interstates and starting from Bakersfield then I40 would be the way to go...snow only a sometimes issue this time of year, better visuals and no grade work. To do I10 some major grade work would be in order, that is if the interstates will be used...namely the Grapevine and the grade east of Indio on I 10.
- StephJohn2010ExplorerI-10 would be the way I'd go.
- mikathiExplorerWe'll be in Bakersfield next week. We'd like to see scenery, historic areas, old west, oddities, any thing unusual. Definitely no snow.
- lane_hogExplorer IIAlso depends on when... I-40 has a tendency to be impacted by winter storms. I-10 is a great fair weather road, but the desert can get a bit boring to some people.
- Old-BiscuitExplorer IIIWhich part of the States do you want to see.....Northern or Southern?
Do you have any 'interests' or just planning on driving the Interstates?
Lots of territory.......wide open - darsbenExplorer IIdeleted posted it in the wrong place guess I fooled myself
