Az Hwy 95 Yuma to Quartzsite

Has anyone traveled hwy 95 between Yuma and Quartzsite? Curious about the road condition. I see it’s only 2 lanes but is it a decent drive?

Thanks.
  • Beware if coming thru during "monsoon season", August thru some of September, those dips that a previous poster mentioned can be flooded. Do not proceed, wait until water drains. We will be in our 15 season in Yuma and run RT 95 all the time.
  • another caveat, just minor but take note: there are a number of low water crossings called "dips". A big motorhome going too fast will bounce you off the ceiling. :)
  • Only caution is to watch out for vehicles passing on your side and the other side of the road. There have been many head-on collisions over the years.

    Well, if you like looking at tanks & big guns, there is a display a short drive down the road to the Yuma Proving Grounds (East Imperial Dam Road). Photos 2017, Photos 2014.

    Another stop along the way is the Castle Dome City Ghost Town & Museum, about 60 miles south of Quartzsite. Some photos.
  • If you like Hwy 50 out of Fallon Nevada east, you'll love 89 out of Yuma. Not much to see, grab a cup of hot coffee and enjoy the trip. Done it several times...Dennis

  • It's an excellent road. Thousands of RVers travel it between the two towns all winter long.
  • The road is fine. Guess I never thought of another way to get from Yuma to Q
