Rim of the World Highway - CA SR 18 & 330 - By David_Harleyson

Heading due west out of Palm Desert, we picked up SR 62 thru Yucca Valley and on to SR 247 thru the Lucerne Valley. We stopped in for an amazing breakfast burrito and a cup of coffee at The Other Place, courtesy of Rock and his crew, they’re right behind the Sinclair Gas station at SR 267 and SR 18. Fully fueled, we headed south on SR 18 towards Big Bear Lake and Rim of the World Hwy. The views and scenery are simply spectacular; we were in a constant state of amazement virtually the entire time we were in the saddle. We will definitely be back AND we will allow more time between stopovers, we just didn’t have enough time to enjoy anything out of the saddle. Once we got up there, we took a few detours around Lakes Arrowhead and Gregory; further enjoying so much of the beauty that is all around that area. We then split off to SR 138 and back down to the valley floor thru the Apple and Antelope Valley’s and in to Palmdale for the night.
