Where can I stop with my dog on I-15 from Los Angeles to the Nevada line?
13 places that allow dogs are within 3 miles of I-15, in driving order: 2 rest areas with pet areas (Clyde V. Kane Rest Area and Valley Wells Rest Area; each listed once for every direction it serves), 2 dog parks or off-leash areas and 7 other stops (hotels and parks), in 8 towns: Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Hesperia, Victorville, Barstow, Yermo, Newberry Springs and Nipton.
Rest areas with pet areas, dog parks and off-leash areas, and every other place the graph holds that allows dogs on the desert run, in driving order from Ontario (the first stop is at mile 105.8), where the drive from Los Angeles joins I-15, over Cajon Pass and through Barstow to the Nevada line. Miles are the Caltrans odometer counting north from San Diego. The Nevada side of the drive, from Primm to Las Vegas, has its own page. From mile 140 on, the page lists every place that allows dogs, not only dog parks and rest areas: 11, in Hesperia, Victorville, Barstow and Yermo. This page lists nothing in Baker: the graph holds no place there that allows dogs within 3 miles of the freeway. Not listed, because the graph records that their rule varies by property: Best Western Plus, Barstow; Best Western Desert Villa Inn. Each side of the freeway has its own rest area, and Caltrans lists each for one direction, so use the one on your side; the label on each row says which. Hours, as Caltrans's program page states them: open 24 hours a day. On a holiday drive, parks, campgrounds and the road itself can close for weather or work: check Caltrans QuickMap before you go, and a campground's own page for its season.
