Hiking the Amboy Crater off Route 66 (4K)
The Amboy Crater is a large cinder cone that is located south of the Mojave National Preserve along historic Route 66. The 3-mile round trip hike takes you to the top of the crater and provides amazing views of the desert landscape covered in lava rock. Do not hike this in the summer though.

Hiking Amboy Crater in California's Mojave Desert | VLOG Part 3
Amboy Crater is a cinder cone volcano that erupted approximately 10,000 years ago in the heart of the Mojave Desert, creating a 27-square mile lava field in the middle of the desert. It's a famous landmark along Route 66 and it was so interesting to hike up to the rim and see all the different geological features as well as animals and plants that call Amboy Crater home!

Cratered: Roadtrip to Amboy, California
Amboy (CA) is an old railroad town that became an important rest stop on historic Route 66 before World War II. It sits in the shadow of a volcano that may have been active as recently as 500 years ago.
Hiking the Amboy Crater
The Amboy Crater is located just west of Amboy, California on Historic Route 66.After the Motorcycle Cannonball, I had the opportunity to wander home at a leisurely pace. One of my must do items was to hike the Amboy Crater. I stopped off to check it out a couple years ago, but didn't have time to hike it. This time, I planned the trip so that I could camp there at the park, then hike to the crater while it was still cool in the morning. #lifeon2wheels #visualstoryteller #redflyermedia #gasolinaboots #fieldsheer #neverstopexploring #route66 #motorcycletravel

Amboy Road: from Roy's to Twentynine Palms, California
This drive takes you from Old Route 66 at Amboy, California (Roy's Motel and Cafe) south to Twentynine Palms, and the Oasis Visitor Center for Joshua Tree National Park.

I made this trip in March, 2016. Video shot with a Brinno TLC-200 Pro time-lapse camera, mounted on my roof with a homemade magnetic case. I travel with two Brinno cameras - one facing forward, the other in reverse. Sometimes the reverse camera captures better video (fewer raindrops and bugs hit the rear-view lens).

Amboy Route 66 2012
Amboy Route 66 2012. Roy's Motel and Cafe was the only gasoline, food and lodging stop for miles around that part of the eastern Mojave and was well known for both its Googie retro-future architecture added to one of the original buildings and even more famous sign, a 1959 addition. Both Roy's and the surrounding town were once owned by Buster Burris, one of Route 66's most famous characters who purchased Roy's from his father-in-law Roy Crowl, the man for whom the property is named, in 1938 and ran the town until 1995.[1]
In 1938 Roy Crowl opened Roy's as a service station on Route 66 in Amboy. Roy, together with his wife Velma, owned the town. In the 1940s Roy teamed up with Herman Buster Burris who married his daughter Betty. Together they expanded the business, keeping it open 24 hours a day and adding the motel to the service station and cafe. Business boomed in the deluge of motor tourists after World War II.[1]
The routing of the old National Trails Highway (1914) and its better-traveled successor, Route 66 through Amboy saw a steady growth of business, especially at Roy's. The complex was so busy during summer vacation that Burris placed classified ads in other states to bring in employees. Buster sold the town in 1995, and moved to Twentynine Palms where he died in 2000. The town was owned by investors Walt Wilson and Tim White who mainly used it for photo shots and to host movie companies. After the two lost it in foreclosure, it was repossessed by Bessie Burris, Buster's widow. Bessie sold the property in February 2005 to Albert Okura, owner of the Juan Pollo restaurant chain, who offered $425,000 in cash and promised to preserve the town and reopen Roy's. On April 28, 2008, Roy's reopened. The renovations and repairs cost $100,000. Albert Okura also has plans to open a cafe and mini-mart at the same location.[6]
Roy's has even attracted some well-known regulars. Actors Harrison Ford and Anthony Hopkins have autographed photos on the walls of the restaurant and visit whenever their schedules allow. Ford frequently flies in and lands his plane on a nearby landing strip, one of the first ever built in California.
California's Old Route 66: Barstow to Amboy Dashcam
Let's take a drive on old US 66! Starting in Barstow and headed east, I tried to follow the old 66 pavement as much as possible... with stops at the Bagdad Cafe, Ludlow, and of course, Roy's Motel and Cafe in Amboy, California. Enjoy the bumpy ride!

Driving From Joshua Tree to Amboy
This drive takes us from the Park Blvd. in the town of Joshua Tree in California to Roy’s Motel and Cafe in Amboy, sixty-one miles away. Desolate beauty is the highlight here – the slowly changing desert landscape as we move from Hwy 62 in Joshua Tree and Twentynine Palms to Amboy Road in Wonder Valley is sublime. From there the road winds through a pass between the Bullion Mountains as it leaves the Morongo Basin and unrolls across a broad desert slope that ends at the salt flats near Amboy. There our travels briefly cross the remains of U.S. Route 66 in Amboy and ends at Roy’s Motel and Cafe.
“Although Amboy was first settled in 1858, the town was not established until 1883. Lewis Kingman, a locating engineer for the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, created the town as the first of a series of alphabetical railroad stations that were to be constructed across the Mojave Desert.
In 1926, Amboy became a boom town after the opening of U.S. Route 66. In 1938, Roy's Motel and Café opened, which prospered due to its isolated location on the route. By 1940, Amboy's population had increased to 65. Its growth was tied not only to tourists, but also to the Santa Fe Railroad over which freight trains still run today between Kingman, Arizona and the BNSF Railway Barstow, California yard.
During the Great Depression and World War II, tourism declined nationally. But the remaining travelers’ need for lodging, meals and gasoline kept the town busy. The town remained this way until the opening of Interstate 40 in 1973, which bypassed Amboy.” - Wikipedia

Flying at Roy's Motel in Amboy, CA
Our friend from Sicily, Corrado, desperately wanted to spend the night here at Roy's Motel in Amboy. Sadly, the motel had to cease operations because of a lack of water. The service station is still open and you can buy drinks and snacks. Unsure about the status of the cafe.
Well, the idea was to shoot some aerial video and photographs of our four visitors at Roy's. MIssion accomplished thanks to the kindness of the gentleman at Roy's who gave us permission to fly and shoot.
You'll enjoy the Wikipedia article linked below. Roy's has a rich history and was another of those businesses literally killed by the construction of Interstate 40.
