California Hiway 58
What is the road like on CA Hiway 58 between Barstow and Bakersfield. I haven't traveled that way before but want the short cut around the grape vine. I pull a 35 ft fifth wheel

There are grades, but it is not as steep as the Grapevine. I'm curious about your comment that it is a shortcut around the Grapevine. It's actually a long cut, depending on where you're going. I'll often take 58 out to 395 and then go south and work my way down to San Diego in order to completely bypass Los Angeles. It actually adds about 40 miles to the trip (long cut) but depending on how bad LA traffic was it could knock off time.
