This was a great stop and easy to get to. From the Baymont Hotel, Barstow, take a left on Main St, another left on N 1st St and another left on Irwin Rd. It's about 8 miles. Drive 3 miles on a dirt, washboard road and then take a right into Rainbow Basin. It's very easy to get to and well marked. Once in the Basin, you will wander through a 5 mile dirt road through the formations. The road is good, any can can make it. The formations were so beautiful. Different colors and shapes. I went at sunset and the lighting made it interesting. Definitely a good stop of an hour or two.

I always stop here on my way to Vegas. It’s about a half way point for me. Perfect to get out of the car and stretch, use the restroom, grab a bite and take off for the long haul. Inside they have a McDonald’s, subway, Panda Express, a Popeyes located outside and all kinds of other collectible items in the station like kick ass hot sauce, flasks, snacks etc. there is a train station behind as well. Parking is large but can get pretty crowded on the weekends.
7. Desert Discovery Center
