Our research revealed that the route from Victorville to Las Vegas has five historic variations. All pass through Barstow, but then at a region once called "Forks in the road" east of Barstow, near Calico, the trail fanned out. Four of the paths have pavement over at least part of their paths; the fifth, the Mojave Road, remains a gravel road for 4-wheel-drive (4WD) vehicles. We designed our travels to cover the 4 paved routes in two round trips.
After a detour through the San Bernardino Mountains at Big Bear, bypassing Cajon Pass and entering Victorville from the east, trip #1 took the modern Interstate-15 to Las Vegas (which was also the route of US-91), jogged down US-95 parallel to the Colorado River almost to Needles, and then returned via old Route 66 parallel to I-40. The log ends at Victorville on the way back.
Trip #2 retraced portions of old Route 66 from Victorville to Goffs before taking the old Arrowhead Highway through Kelso (where possible), following the old alignment to Nipton, joining I-15 at Primm to finish the trip to Las vegas and returned via the Old Spanish Trail through Blue Diamond to Baker, explored the geology south of Baker, and then finished the return to Victorville on I-15. The log ends at Baker.
