I will drive in June with a RV (22ft) from Yosemite via route 395 to Las Vegas. The rental company does not allow me to drive through Dead Valley. Which route can you advice me to take? It'll be my first time driving a RV.
I was thinking about driving the 395 to Big Pine, then the 168 onto the 266 and via the 95 to Vegas. On the map I see that the 168 is very windy and I believe I need to cross some high elevation.
Would that route be OK or do you suggest another route? Has anybody driven on the 168?
Thank you for any reply!
With the 22 foot RV you should have no issues taking California State Route 120 over Tioga Pass from Yosemite valley to US 395 at Lee Vining. From there stay on 120 to Benton and then US 6 to US 95 between Mina and Tonopah. After that stay on US 95 all the way to Las Vegas. You will avoid Death Valley.
