Highway 247
Barstow Road from Barstow to Lucerne Valley, then Old Woman Springs Highway from Lucerne Valley to Yucca Valley
California State Route 247 (CA 247) is a scenic highway stretching from Barstow to Yucca Valley, passing through the Mojave Desert's rugged terrain. The northern segment, known as Barstow Road, begins in Barstow and heads south toward Lucerne Valley, offering wide desert vistas and access to remote areas.
From Lucerne Valley to Yucca Valley, the highway becomes Old Woman Springs Road, named after Old Woman Springs, a historic water source in the region. This stretch follows rolling desert hills and open basins, providing a quiet, scenic alternative to busier highways.
CA 247 is a vital connector between the High Desert and Morongo Basin, serving local communities, ranches, and off-grid homesteads while offering travelers a glimpse of the unspoiled Mojave landscape. Let me know if you'd like additional details or refinements!
