I've always taken 58, 395, 15, 210, 10. Even with the rare light traffic days I really don't like driving through the LA area especially towing. This route is far more enjoyable.
Good route, except I turn off 395 at Adelante then go east which will drop you in just above Palm Springs. less traffic and more desert scenery to enjoy.
Looked at that route but wasn't sure if 18, 247 and 62 were fairly easy fast routes. Any slow areas?
Take highway 18 off of 395 going east. Hwy. 18 will turn into Hwy. 247. Just continue and you end up on I-10. Go east for a few miles to Palm Springs.
Hwy. 18 takes you through some little towns for a few miles but no problems towing my 34' 5th wheel. Once you get onto hwy. 247 it is a good 2 lane country road that connects you to Hwy. 62. Turn right at Hwy. 62 until you connect with I-10.
