That commitment is to drive to the end of a 49-mile dead end road with nothing much else to see and only a few poor choices of where to overnight along the way.
But the effort it takes to get there is well rewarded by the unique sights you'll see.
One of the rewards can be found all along the last 20-miles in, or the first 20-miles out I suppose, on both sides of the road. I'm talking about the beautiful Joshua Tree forest.
ARIZONA JOSHUA TREES

Keep in mind the slow growing Joshua Tree usually doesn't sprout "limbs" until it's 45-years old.

Below 3000' elevation the Joshua Trees faded away and this "grove" of trees emerged.

After the grove of trees faded away we were left with nothing but desert...

...for the rest of the drive into Kingman, AZ.
At the end of our drive we found ourselves at another Walmart for a FREE overnight visit. We weren't alone here last night, when we awoke there were at least another six overnight guests in the parking lot.
