The main little strip of town is a fun place for a stop, especially if you like antiques. The town that time forgot, Randsburg itself is located 2 minutes off the road, but since the road does not go straight through it, it does not receive a lot of visitors.

I just released a 70 page ebook on this drive, check it out here. The ideas in this post are in order from South (Victorville) to North (Reno / Lassen), and you can see them on a map at the end of this post. This is an ever-growing post though, and I hope you will offer additional suggestions to other wanders in the comments below.

It is the road that parallels the Eastern Sierra’s and provides access to some of the best hiking, lakes and adventures you can find in California.
Highway 395 is probably my favorite road in California.
