      267 miles, about 5 hours

      Hundreds of thousands of road trippers and other highway travelers zoom between Los Angeles and Las Vegas every year, but few know of the extraordinary delights found at virtually every off-ramp on I-15.

      315 miles - 5 hour 30 minutes

      Head west across Nevada towards Yosemite's eastern entrance and the route doesn't sound too promising: 315 miles across inhospitable desert country with just two old mining towns for refreshment breaks. However, it's actually a wonderful journey through wide open spaces and a couple of towns packed full of history, plus, ...

The stretch from Reno to Manzanar National Park is especially noteworthy, and is, ...

      375 miles, about 10.5 hours

      This is an incredible journey that can be done in one very long day or you can split it into a couple of days. Starting in Las Vegas, the route swings by the incomparable Hoover Dam en route to the Grand Canyon by way of two relatively little visited historic and picturesque attractions. ...
