Getting around Ridgecrest with a private driver
Ridgecrest is easy to read on a map, and most pickups fall along a few main streets. This is how we think about the town when we plan a trip.
China Lake Boulevard
China Lake Boulevard carries two of the addresses riders send us most. The Best Western China Lake Inn is at 400 S China Lake Boulevard, and Ridgecrest Regional Hospital is at 1081 N China Lake Boulevard. Send the exact address and the arrival time and we plan around it.
Las Flores and California Avenues
The Maturango Museum, at 100 E Las Flores Avenue, is open daily and is a natural stop for guests who want to learn about the desert before heading out. A few blocks away, Kerr McGee Community Center at 100 W California Avenue hosts gatherings of many sizes. Tell us which entrance you plan to use and we meet the group there.
Sydnor Avenue and downtown hotels
Hampton Inn & Suites sits at 104 E Sydnor Avenue. For a wedding or a visiting team, we can collect guests from the hotel in groups so no one waits in the lobby alone.
The fairgrounds on Richmond Road
Desert Empire Fairgrounds & Events Center is at 520 S Richmond Road and hosts the Desert Empire Fair, with a rodeo and a demolition derby among its attractions. On a busy weekend the entrance you choose matters, so name the gate when you book.
The Navy base next door
Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake adjoins the city and employs most of the local workforce. Entry to the installation follows the base’s own rules, so questions about access belong with the base. For a pickup, give us an address in town.
Beyond the city limits
Inyokern, Trona and the Searles Valley, Red Mountain and Randsburg are all within reach. Tell us the pickup spot and we work out the road from there, then quote one price.
