Route to Joshua Tree

[jimocon]

Hi Everyone! Jim and I are in Southern CA (Hisperia, I-15 mm 147)
headed further south. Has anyone taken their bird on hwy 18 to hwy
247 to Joshua Tree Natl Park? Is it narrow, hilly, treacherous or any
of those things that make the navigator nervous?

We're thinking of a few days in Black Rock or Indian Cove, then hwy 62
to Palm Springs.

Your comments please. Better to plan ahead based on your experiences
than learn for ourselves on the fly.

Thanks in advance

Pen and Jim, I dont remember any major problems in that route but
other forum members live up there and may chime in. If you need
anything while in our area just call.

I have taken that route many times. Good road all the way, not at all
narrow as I understand narrow, some up/down hills, just sit back and
enjoy the ride. Another route is the 15 south, 10 east, to hwy 62. I'd
opt. for the 18 & 247 from Hesperia as it will keep you out of the RUSH
HOUR TRAFFIC that we have below the mountains in this part of the country.

From Joshua Tree, hwy 62 is a short and easy drive to hwy 10 and Palm
Springs.

Good luck.

I should add...

If you decide to leave the Park via the south entrance, you hook up with
hwy 10 which (west) takes you to Palm Springs.

If you like history, take hwy 10 to the east a few miles and you come to
Gen. Patton Museum.
