Amboy Crater is an iconic landscape feature that guides travelers along Route 66.
The site provides easy access (low-clearance 2wd) to visitors wanting to experience Mojave Trails National Monument.
Mojave Trails National Monument just east of Los Angeles, California spans 1.6 million acres and includes rugged mountain ranges, ancient lava flows and fossil beds, and spectacular sand dunes. The Monument also contains irreplaceable historical resources, such as the longest-remaining undeveloped stretch of the iconic Route 66 and World War II training camps.
