Route Kelowna , BC to Yuma, AZ in January
We take the exact same route down to Yuma. We’ve been doing it for more than 8 years. We used to use I15 but we now like to avoid the interstates.
Only once have we hit any amount of snow and that was at Cabbage Hill Pendleton. Chains were mandatory so we waited it out for 3 days at the Wild Horse Casino and watched the road cameras until the road was bare. It was no hardship!
Road cameras are really useful.
The only other piece of advice is to try to make your night stop at Jackpot NV then push through to Vegas. Often it is well below freezing mid Nevada at Wells and Ely so you run the risk of freezing pipes unless you’re well prepared.
We stop at Cactus Pete’s then the next night at the bottom of 93 before it hits I15.
