Getting There

LOCATION
Located in San Bernardino County (southeastern California), Mojave encompasses 1.6 million acres of the area known as the "Lonesome Triangle," between Interstate 15 and 40. The preserve begins about 60 miles east of Barstow and borders the Nevada state line to the northeast.

DIRECTIONS
The preserve is easily reached via I-15 or I-40 east of Barstow, CA, and west of Needles, CA and Las Vegas, NV. There are six freeway exits that provide visitor access. Several paved roads cross the preserve including Kelbaker Road from Baker, California, and Kelso-Cima Road, which goes from the Kelso Depot east and then north to link with I-15.

TRANSPORTATION
The nearest airports are in Ontario, CA (140 miles from the western boundary of the preserve), and Las Vegas, NV (60 miles from the eastern boundary of the preserve). Most visitors arrive in private vehicles.
