    • Pick up a couple delightfully kitschy souvenirs at The World's Tallest Thermometer.
    • Brush up on your knowledge of Death Valley flora and fauna — the ecosystem itself is a natural wonder.
    • Channel your inner billy goat to climb around on the massive rocks at the Alabama Hills.
    • Snap a selfie with the most outrageous art car at The International Car Forest.
    • Marvel at the morning mountain view waking up in Mammoth Lakes.
    This route includes CCS charging stations.
    There's nothing quite like the open lands of the American West, and this road trip through Death Valley, the foothill towns of the Eastern Sierras, and the Mojave Desert as it sprawls over Central Nevada is out there — way out there — in all the right ways. In three days' time, you'll be on a first-name basis with more than a half-dozen towns likely 99.99% of the global population hasn't ever heard of, have become a certified expert Old Western bric-a-brac, contemplated the meaning of art itself in the proverbial middle of nowhere, and taken enough photos of the desert to last a lifetime. (Well, at least until the next road trip.) It goes without saying, the views along will be pretty spectacular. So buckle up and grab the suncream — it's time to get lost for a few days and starry nights.
    Be aware that the journey involves long driving distances, so be sure to take car charging adapters with you on the trip.

    From Las Vegas to Furnace Creek in Death Valley National Park

    From Las Vegas, today's drive take a bit of a circuitous route to ultimately arrive at Death Valley National Park, but sometimes "getting lost" has its rewards. There are a few surprises in store that are truly the stuff road trips are made of. the World's Largest Thermometer and a couple of other surprises along the way. The first view of Death Valley National Park is an impressive one — hand's down one of best. As there are no CSS EV chargers (yet) in Furnace Creek within Death Valley — tonight's ultimate destination — there's one more detour to charge up before heading into the park for dinner at a saloon-meets-steakhouse with genuine Western flair. Tuck in early, because tomorrow's another early start.

    Furnace Creek, Nevada to Mammoth Lakes, California

    Today's another early riser; there are simply too many adventures to be had — and a fair bit of ground to cover, plus CCS charge points. Grab a coffee or light bite at the hotel to go, if you need a little something to jump start the day. After visits to a few of intriguing Death Valley points of interest along the route, it's time for to break for breakfast at one of the only restaurants within 100 miles (not counting Furnace Creek). That may be an exaggeration, but only barely. After charging up at a the nearest available location west of the national park, there's lunch in the Eastern Sierras town of Lone Pine, famously the gateway to hike the summit of Mt. Whitney, a 14,505-foot peak in the Sierra Nevadas that's also the tallest mountain in the Lower 48. A short scenic hike is in store for the afternoon, with more views of Whitney and the desert expanse beyond, plus a few stops along the way to Mammoth Lakes — tonight's overnight.

    Mammoth Lakes to Las Vegas via Nevada's Hwy 95 Through the Mojave Desert

    One last day on the road, this time heading deep into Central Nevada's westernmost fringes, into the great wide open of the Mojave Desert. Daytime stops include eccentric art and a bit of frontier history in Tonopha, Goldfield, and Beatty. Never heard of them? They're small towns that are all but off-the-grid, and home to some treasures of the desert, which is exactly why they're worth discovering. There's one more surprise in store on the final stretch back to Las Vegas — a scenic detour for dinner in Mt. Charleston, a mountain getaway location for Vegas locals in the know. (Less than an hour from The Strip, it actually snows here in the winter.)
