The Skinny

  • What: Death Valley National Park, a neat motorcycle road trip with great roads and scenery.
  • How to Get There: From Los Angeles, take I-10 to I-15. Exit at Kelbaker Road in Baker and go north. From Las Vegas, head northwest on U.S. 95 to state Route 373 south, then turn west on state Route 190.
  • Best Kept Secrets: Take two days to explore Death Valley. On the way in, take I-40 east out of Barstow 30 miles to old Route 66, paralleling the freeway east, then north on Kelbaker Road through the Mojave National Preserve. Spend the night in Baker, and enjoy dinner and breakfast at The Mad Greek restaurant (their Mediterranean food is outstanding!). If you plan to stay at any of the resorts in Death Valley, make your reservations months in advance!
