About This Location
A critical desert oasis at the I-15 and I-40 junction in the Mojave Desert. Every driver running between Los Angeles and Las Vegas or heading east toward Flagstaff passes through Barstow, making this one of the busiest Pilots in the desert Southwest. The temperature swings are extreme — from freezing winter nights to 120°F summer days — so this stop sees a steady stream of overheating trucks in summer.
