I-40 Hotels

Interstate Highway from Coastal Carolina to Desert California

I-40 takes a (mostly) east-to-west path across the country, starting a few miles from the Atlantic Ocean in Wilmington, North Carolina and ending at a merge with I-15 in the desert town of Barstow, California. Along the way it traverses the full width of Tennessee, Arkansas, New Mexico and Arizona. It includes memorable crossings of the Appalachian Mountains and the southern end of the Rocky Mountains.

Westward travel can continue on I-15, which will take you down the Pacific Coast to San Diego.
