What’s the best driving route from San Francisco to Las Vegas?
My girlfriends and I are heading to Las Vegas from San Francisco for one week for a bachelorette. Instead of flying, we’ve decided to rent a car and have some fun on the road. What’s the best route to get there?

That sounds like a blast! The best route from
San Francisco
to Las Vegas
takes US-395 S and US-95 S through the national forests. The trip covers 590 miles and takes roughly 10.5 hours to complete—but the scenery is worth the extra time! Here’s how to get there:
- Get on US-101 S/Central Fwy
- Take I-580 E, I-205 E and CA-120 E to Big Oak Flat Rd in Tuolumne County
- Head south on Highway 395 through Lone Pine
- Take Highway 190 east through Beatty
- Merge onto Highway 95 south to Las Vegas
This route isn’t the best during the winter, as the Tioga Pass is generally closed during the snowy months—but it’s one of the best drives in the summer and fall.
Here are some stops to make along the way:
- Mono Lake
- June Lake Loop
- Convict Lake
- Mountain Rambler Brewery in Bishop
- Schat’s Bakkery
- Laws Railroad Museum
- Mobius Arch trail
- Mesquite Dunes
- Rhyolite Ghost Town
The nearly 600-mile stretch from San Francisco to Las Vegas is no short trip, so you’ll want to make sure you have the right insurance coverage before you hit the open roads—you may also want to consider adding [towing coverage[(
