Mojave National Preserve
The drive between Los Angeles and Las Vegas can be pretty boring but, if you have an hour to spare, there is a little known side trip though an amazing place called the Mojave National Preserve. Although the park is huge, you can get a great taste of it by turning off of I-15 onto Kelbaker Road in Baker, CA and getting back on 15 by turning up Cima Road. Along the way, you’ll see lava beds, an old train depot, mountains, sand dunes and the largest Joshua tree forest in the world!
