It’s hard to think of a southwestern road trip more classic or scenic than that from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles. Along the 10-hour, 700-ish mile drive, you’ll pass through epic red-rock Southern Utah landscapes that might make you feel like you’ve been transported to an alien planet, not to mention the unbeatable dark skies of this part of the country. Then, you’ll come across Las Vegas: filled with urban adventures that are exactly the opposite of all that wide-open space. This juxtaposition can help you enjoy along-the-way outdoor recreation stops like Fishlake National Forest, Zion National Park and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument — and, once you pass into southeastern California, Joshua Tree National Park and Death Valley National Park.
Why Is This Route Popular?
The one-way drive from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles allows you to explore two of the most iconic southwestern American cities, along with a truly endless array of outdoor desert recreation opportunities along the way. Traveling in a one-way RV rental keeps you comfortable and accommodated the entire time, especially since there are plenty of excellent campgrounds in Utah, Nevada and southern California, both for those aiming for a more luxurious, inclusive experience and those open to a more rugged, off-the-grid option. There are a wide array of one-way RV rentals to choose from in Salt Lake City, and you’ll easily be able to fly out of LAX when you’re done with the journey! This route truly promises the trip of a lifetime, especially when you can budget all your time toward exploration rather than driving back the way you came.
