Route 93 Kingman to Las Vegas: The Road to the Temple

I am hoping to give a detailed description of Highway 93, or the future 11 Corridor.  This is the road from Las Vegas to Phoenix.   In this blog I am focusing on the road from Kingman to the temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Las Vegas.  I try to travel this at least once a week.  I am going to enclose places to stop along the way.  It seems I am usually in such a hurry that I am never able to stop anywhere.  

Although the mile markers stop as you get into town, the highway 40 is about mile marker 71 on the 93.  The mile markers are helpful to give an approximate time to arrive at the state line and at the 40.  It takes about an hour driving about 70 miles per hour.

The first couple miles the road is commercial with the speed limit of 35.  In these first couple miles are eight gas stations and three hotels.  There are also several restaurants including, Wendy's, Popeyes, Black Bear Diner, Chester's Chicken, Subway and Filiberto's.  Some of the restaurants are inside the gas stations.  This area can be a high traffic area, and backs up frequently.  This area is set for revamp with the future Corridor 11.  

Monolith Garden Trails Metcalf entrance on Metcalf Road going west from the 93.  Mile marker 71.  Traveling north it is less than a mile from the I-40 on the left side of the road.

Fort Beale Road goes to the right or east traveling north at about mile marker 70.  It travels north and then east.  It includes access to Beale Springs and Fort Beale Loop and a back road to Stockton Hill Road in Kingman. 

Cerbat Foothills can only be accessed from the south bound direction.  So from Kingman one must travel past the trail entrance and turn around and come back toward Kingman.  It is approximately mile marker 68.

Chloride is about a mile off Highway 93.  The turn is clearly marked and at about mile marker 54.  

Behind Chloride, on a pretty rough dirt rode are the Chloride Murals.  This is a fascinating place to visit.

View areas are between mile markers 12 and 13 so only about thirteen miles from the border.
