DESERTS & MOUNTAINS TRIP
Interstate 40 Arizona

Interstate 40 spans the nation, from the deserts of California, Arizona, and New Mexico, to the mountains of eastern Tennessee and North Carolina, and goes through Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas in between. I drove Interstate 40 West from Interstate 44 in Oklahoma City to its western end during the Deserts & Mountains Trip. On Day One, I drove from Oklahoma City to Albuquerque, New Mexico; on Day Two, I drove from Albuquerque to Kingman, Arizona; and on Day Three, I drove the interstate from Kingman to Barstow, California, which is the interstate's western end.
