For Tehachapi, the Travelodge Hotel is located right on State Route 58 at Tehachapi Summit. The Loop is just back up the road (north). It's been a while since I've been there, but I seem to remember there was also a nice restaurant located at the hotel. Nice place to stay.

For Cajon, there is a Best Western, located literally right near the Cajon/Sullivan's Curve area. Cajon Summit is just east of the hotel on State Route 138. The hotel is at the junction of State Route 138 and Interstate 15. The I-15 runs to Barstow from the LA area. The last time I stayed there, it was kind of a dive. But, it has been remodeled and looks decent, from the outside at least.

Have Fun

Greetings,

As of right now I am hoping to head to Southern California in late April this year. This will be my first time out that way. I am looking for suggestions on locations to stay to check out places like Cajon and Tehachapi. Also any other suggestions for locations to check out for some good railroad action. I hope to fly into LAX.

Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.
