Pahrump, NV to Bishop, Ca

Would appreciate some suggestions on a good route for this trip
to include a stop at the Death Valley Visitor Center. Driving a
37' motorhome, towing a Chevy Tracker Any and all suggestions
will be appreciated. Thanks

    It is far too hot to be taking your rig down into Death Valley this time of year. I suggest you leave your rig in Pahrump and take a day trip down to the DV visitor center. Take plenty of water and an ice chest full of ice with you :)
    Then, for Bishop, go north out of Pahrump to Nevada 95 and north to Tonopah and then take 6 west. It will curve around to the south and into Bishop without taxing your MH too hard, and, as I recall, it's an interesting drive.


    X2 We have been to DV many times, this is the best advise at this time of the year.
