Driving the Remote Benton Crossing Road, CA-120 & Historic US Route 6

Experience a remote, mesmerizing drive through the wide-open, high-desert landscapes of Eastern California and Nevada. This real-time, 4K relaxing drive begins at US-395 and heads east on Benton Crossing Road—one of the most remote and scenic backroads in the Eastern Sierra. From there, we join CA-120 East to the historic community of Benton, California, before merging onto US Route 6 East for the long, hypnotic journey across the Nevada desert to Tonopah. 📍 About the Route • Benton Crossing Road: Known for its sweeping views of the Glass Mountains and Sierra Nevada peaks. • US Route 6 (Grand Army of the Republic Highway): Stretching 3,199 miles coast-to-coast, this video covers an incredibly remote 81-mile stretch from Benton, CA to Tonopah, NV. • The Vibe: Long stretches of open highway, vast desert valleys, distant barren mountains, and almost zero development. It is a drive that truly feels like heading into the beautiful middle of nowhere. • The Finish Line: We roll into the historic mining town of Tonopah, Nevada, passing right by the world-famous (and slightly creepy!) Clown Motel. ⏱️ Video Chapters (Timestamps) 0:00 - Preview 1:29 - US-395 to Benton Crossing Road 12:08 - Cruising past Crowley Lake & Glass Mountain 32:09 - CA-120 East to Benton, CA 41:17 - Benton to US-6 East 47:52 - Crossing the Nevada State Line on US-6 East 1:18:20 - Coaldale Junction (Merging with US-95) 1:40:47 - Millers Rest Area 1:52:40 - Entering Tonopah, NV & the Clown Motel 📅 Filmed in May 2026 If you enjoyed this peaceful desert journey, please consider liking the video, subscribing to the channel, and leaving a comment below!
