What's the best route from Phoenix to Los Angeles?

I’m traveling from Phoenix to Los Angeles for a conference, but I want to enjoy the scenery along the way. I’ve never driven to Los Angeles before, though. What’s the best route to take from Phoenix to Los Angeles?

The drive between
Phoenix
and
Los Angeles
is a leisurely one—until you hit LA traffic. To get to your conference, the best route from Phoenix to Los Angeles is just hopping on I-10 West. It’s a straight shot to Los Angeles and you don’t have to make any turns until you get close to your hotel.
The journey takes approximately six hours and covers 370 miles. If you want to take your time on the trip, one attraction of note is Joshua Tree National Park, which is home to the eponymous trees that only grow in this one particular region in the world.
Although you’re on the interstate, parts of I-10 in this area can get fairly remote. If your car breaks down, make sure you have a backup plan with
towing and labor coverage
. It’s an add-on to your existing car insurance coverage that acts just like roadside assistance. To find the best rates for towing and labor, explore options on the
