Las Vegas in July
The best part of my drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas is, if I plan it right, approaching the Nevada state line.Prior to that, I will cross the San Bernardino Mountains and drive through Dario Argento's Hesperia.
As you can see from the map, after Barstow, California pretty much throws in the towel for the 100-mile trek through the Mojave Desert. During that time I will pass through Zzyzx, CA, which will be a comparatively cool 109 degrees.
Approaching the state line at twilight is great fun because drivers can see the line as defined by the lights of Primm, the first city over the Nevada border. Las Vegas is about 50 miles beyond that.
