When I go North from Yuma I go through Lake Havasu City to Kingman.

I do not like the humpty dumps in California on US 95.

Then US 93 and turn off on Lakeshore Rd Just before Boulder City up to highway 167.

Then if you want to see Valley of Fire which is more than worth the time turn on Valley of Fire Highway then to I15.

If you are not interested in Valley of Fire continue on highway 167 to highway 169 to I15.

This skips Las Vegas completely and both highway 167 and 169 are good roads.

As per google maps the route through Las Vegas is 222 miles and 3hr 24 minutes.

The route using highway 167 and 169 is 219 miles and 3hr 46 minutes.

The distance and times are from Kingman to St George.


I just finished the route I described. All roads in very good condition.

Is the area you are referring to the location where the 95, the 515 and 15 meet?

Thanks to all that responded...My depth perception sometimes makes it tough through narrow areas...so may try the valley of the fire route...
thanks again :C

The current big Vegas construction zone is on US 95 north and south bound from the I-15 interchange north (spaghetti bowl). They are calling it "the big squeeze" as the highway is down to 2 lanes each direction. Other than rush hours and accidents, there have been few reported backups. As long as you are staying on I-15, you should have few if any issues.

As you come into Vegas watch for the "EXPRESS LANES" all vehicles can use them, they are the left lanes. You will fly thru Vegas.

Try to make Valley of Fire part of your trip. You will enjoy it. Just North of Vegas on 15.

I went through there a few weeks ago. Pack your patience, change lanes when the big rigs do, and keep your eyes peeled for idiots. I had one guy try to merge between me and the trailer. Not sure what he was thinking...

It really isn't bad, and it's well marked.

Check the weather and wind conditions 2 days prior to your departure.
