Palm Springs to Barstow Complete Desert Drive

This drive embarks in sunny Palm Springs on Indian Canyon Drive. From there Highway 62 winds up to the Morongo Valley and eventually Yucca Valley where the elevation and climate allow the Joshua Tree to thrive. In Yucca Valley we head northerly on California State Route 247 through the high desert area of the Homestead, Johnson & Lucerne Valleys, eventually reaching Interstate 15 in Barstow, which is also where Interstate 40 commences and the historic route 66 can be found. 0:00 Indian Canyon Drive 6:34 Highway 62 8:47 Yucca Valley 15:34 Highway 247 19:35 Homestead Valley 37:10 Lucerne Valley 53:00 Barstow
