United States California
Amboy
A small, unincorporated desert community known for its historic Route 66 diner and proximity to the Mojave National Preserve.
Tips from the community
Get your kicks on Route 66! Come out to the Mojave Trails National Monument to explore America's Mother Road. Stop at Roy's for a snack and to get a photo of their famous sign (which now lights up at night again!). This is where Mad Mike made some of his famous rocketship launches funded by the Flat Earth Society, and you've seen Amboy in some of your favorite Hollywood films too. In an emergency, you can gas up here too - the prices are even higher than in LA!

sunrunnermedia (Steve "Shanghai" Brown) Sure, you've wanted to go visit Joshua Tree National Park and the hipster enclave of Joshua Tree. But while you can explore the national park for the rest of your life and still not see it all, what else is there to do - outside of the park - during your visit? Plenty.
