Best route from Bakersfield to Desert Hot Springs in Nov.
I see Barstow over 15 to 10, but am wondering what the non-freeway choices are like, especially this time of year. We will be in Bakersfield this week. Thanks!

It's tough to find a complete non-freeway route.
But the closest to it is kind of a long way around but unique scenery wise.
HWY 58 to Barstow to HWY 247 south to Lucerne Valley and then continue on Hwy 247 to Yucca Valley. Take Hwy 62 west to Pearson Blvd. Head east on Pearson to Desert Hot Springs.
Along the way take a side trip to PioneerTown A movie set where many of the western movies and TV shows were filmed.
