Crossing the Mojave Desert on Cadiz Road - Ghost Towns, Sand Dunes, & Closed Route 66

More than a century ago, Cadiz Road, a road that cuts through the heart of the Mojave Desert, was part of the main highway between Los Angeles and Phoenix. Once the highways started getting paved however, the road lost out and was bypassed. Once a popular route, the road is now little traveled. That doesn't mean there is nothing to see however. Over the years, two towns sprung up along Cadiz Road, only to disappear again. But the mark they left is still visible along the road. The road also travels through the Mojave Trails National Monument and provides access to the Cadiz Dunes, said to be the most pristine and hard to access sand dunes in the Mojave Desert. Cadiz Road also links California State Route 62 (also known as the most desolate highway in California) and Route 66. Even though Route 66 is one of the best known highways in the world, the section of Route 66 where it intersects with Cadiz Road has been closed for years and very few people get to see it nowadays. In this video we travel the entire length of Cadiz Road through the Mojave Desert, talk about its history, and and see what there is to see along the way. 00:00 Intro 02:17 Milligan townsite 06:58 Chubbuck ghost town 15:53 Cadiz Dunes 20:26 Cadiz 21:28 Chambless on Route 66 22:43 Damaged Route 66 bridge ○ Gear we use: https://www.amazon.com/shop/sidetrack... ►Please subscribe for weekly updates showcasing some of our adventures:    / @sidetrackadventures   ►Also please follow Sidetrack Adventures on Instagram:   / sidetrackadventures   ►Music in this video is from Epidemic Sounds; use our link for a 60 day free trial: https://share.epidemicsound.com/v927fj
