I wouldnโt be afraid Pearblossom Highway, especially in the daytime.
18 is the Pearblossom highway. I can take I-15 to 138 to Pearblossom, or I-15 to 395 to Pearblossom. The latter is 15 miles longer. Some have said 138 is curvy, dips etc. Was wondering if bypassing the 138 would be preferred.
18 merges into the 138 about half way between Victorville and Palmdale. I feel that this section of the 18 has more up and down dips than the 138. Just before Palmdale the Pearblossom Highway leaves the 138 and cuts over to the 14. Near Santa Clarita, it is probably faster just to take the 14 to the I5 and take it the few miles north to the 126, but we sometimes take Soledad Canyon Rd to Newhall Ranch Rd which then runs into the 126.

Would it be easier and possibly faster to skip 138 and take I-15 to 395 to 18? It's about 15 miles further.

I have seen others mention routing through palmdale for other destinations. Have you driven the 2nd route mentioned and can describe the route and any issues?
We recently traveled from Redlands to Ventura on a Tuesday morning using the 215->15->138->14->126->101 just to avoid as much of the LA area as possible. We started mid-morning so missed much of the 215 and 15 rush hour. Much of the 138 is just two lane, but mostly decent road. I'd recommend leaving early enough to miss as much of the San Bernardino area traffic as possible. But you may hit some traffic on the 14.

The route I like is 10 > 210 > 118 > 126 >101. Just 5 miles longer than your typical route. Only a short stretch that is not freeway (Moorpark to Saticoy). Keeps north of much of LA/San Fernando Valley. Still going to be traffic. Lesser of two evils.
Safe travels
