I had to move to the desert. Not So overjoyed about it but as compensation, Mother Nature gives us amazing sunsets and sunrises. This was looking towards the Sierras, west of Ridgecrest. Soothing blues, salmons and more.

Use to live there, saddened to see all the weeds all over the roads and sidewalks.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

I was on a trip through the area and traveling on Hwy 395. Ridgecrest is a bit off of the highway, and is close to the military base, but is a nice little town with all amenities that a traveler would need. Recommended.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

We were passing through on our way home from Anaheim. We had stayed at another hotel in Ridgecrest on our way to Anaheim in the same price range which was much nicer, quieter and cleaner.

3/5 - Okay

Typical sprawling desert town. Good family Mexican restaurant.
