2. Blythe, CA to Desert Oasis, CA
Blythe, CA to Desert Oasis, CA – 122 miles
Parallel the Colorado River as you make your way north from Blythe, and take a stop at the fascinating Blythe Intaglios which were discovered in 1931. These giant pieces of art are similar to the Nazca Lines in Peru and the shapes are believed to have been formed prior to 900 AD. There is an optional Harder section here that takes you into a short, but technical and remote portion of the rugged California desert.
After traveling through this desolate wilderness area, Highway 62 passes structures of times long since past including the “Shoe Tree” before joining Cadiz Road which connects to the “Mother Road”, better known as Historic Route 66.
The end of this section is at the “Desert Oasis” gas station. However, this isn’t your typical gas station . . . you’ll just have to see it to believe it. Be warned, the gas isn’t cheap but it’s necessary.
