Victor Valley Chamber of Commerce

The chamber's Green Tree Boulevard office is a single-story commercial building with a small visitor reception area, a conference room used for chamber events and member meetings, and back-office space for the chamber's small professional staff. The visitor reception area includes a brochure wall covering perhaps 80-100 individual rack cards and brochures from member businesses, a small display of regional maps and visitor's guides available for free pickup, and a friendly front-desk staff member who can answer questions and provide directions.

The printed Victor Valley Visitor's Guide is the chamber's most useful single resource for Route 66 travelers. The guide includes a regional map showing all major roads (including the original Route 66 alignment along 7th Street and the National Trails Highway), attraction listings with addresses and brief descriptions, restaurant categories organized by cuisine and price range, hotel listings with rate ranges, an event calendar for the current year, and practical visitor information about emergency services, hospitals, and pharmacies. The guide is free; pick up a copy at the chamber office or at participating member hotels (the Holiday Inn, Best Western, Hampton Inn, and several other properties stock the guide at their front desks).

The chamber's small souvenir selection includes Route 66 memorabilia, Victor Valley-branded apparel and accessories, and occasional rotating products from local artists and craftspeople. The selection is modest but includes some items not easily found elsewhere; proceeds support chamber operations.

The chamber's website at vvchamber.com is the most useful resource for travelers who arrive outside business hours or who want to plan ahead. The site includes a searchable business directory (filterable by category — restaurants, hotels, attractions, services, retail), an event calendar with current and upcoming activities, downloadable PDFs of the visitor's guide and several specialized maps (Route 66 walking tour, dining map, outdoor recreation map), and a contact form for specific questions that don't require a phone call.

The business directory is particularly useful for visitors seeking specific services — auto repair, medical clinics, pharmacies, ATMs, banks, gas stations along specific routes — that aren't typically covered in tourist-focused guides. Search by category and zip code returns a comprehensive list of member businesses with addresses, phone numbers, and brief descriptions. The directory does not list every business in the Victor Valley (only chamber members), but coverage is broad enough that most practical needs are addressed.

The event calendar covers chamber-organized events (annual gala, business mixers, networking events) plus community events from members and partner organizations. For 2026, the calendar includes substantial Route 66 Centennial programming — the June 27 car show at the California Route 66 Museum, several Route 66-themed business mixers, and various community celebrations across the Victor Valley. Check the calendar before a planned visit to align with events that match your interests.

For travelers passing through Victorville on a Route 66 trip, the chamber is most useful as a planning aid before the visit rather than a stop during the visit. Browse the website, download the visitor's guide PDF, and email the chamber any specific questions before arriving; this lets you arrive in Victorville with a clear itinerary rather than spending part of the visit at the chamber office sorting out options. The chamber's printed guide and most online resources are available without an in-person visit.

For travelers spending multiple nights in Victorville (or those using the area as a hub for broader High Desert exploration including Joshua Tree, the Mojave National Preserve, Death Valley, or other destinations), the chamber office becomes more directly useful. The front-desk staff can suggest specific outdoor recreation areas, dining options beyond the obvious Route 66 stops, and seasonal activities that might not be obvious from website browsing. A brief 10-15 minute chamber visit on day one of a multi-night stay often produces useful itinerary additions.

For travelers with specific interests — Route 66 history, outdoor recreation, motorsports (the Adelanto Stadium and several drag strips draw significant interest), local arts and crafts, or culinary tourism — the chamber can provide targeted recommendations beyond the standard tourist itinerary. The chamber's deep familiarity with member businesses produces specialized suggestions that broader tourist resources miss.

One of the chamber's most useful contributions for Route 66 travelers is information about Mojave Narrows Regional Park — the 840-acre San Bernardino County park along the Mojave River about 5 miles east of central Victorville. The park includes year-round camping (RV and tent sites), fishing in two stocked lakes, hiking trails along the Mojave River, equestrian facilities, and substantial picnic areas. Day-use admission is modest ($10-$12 per vehicle for non-residents typically); overnight camping reservations are available through the San Bernardino County Parks system.

Mojave Narrows is a meaningful outdoor recreation asset that is not obvious from most Route 66 itineraries. Travelers who want a half-day or full-day break from driving — particularly families with kids — find the park a welcome change of pace. The Mojave River is one of the few perennial water features in the surrounding desert and the cottonwood-and-willow riparian zone supports unusually diverse wildlife including more than 200 bird species across the year. Bring binoculars; early morning is the best wildlife viewing time.

Beyond Mojave Narrows, the chamber can provide information about Silverwood Lake State Recreation Area (about 25 minutes south near the top of Cajon Pass), Hesperia Lake Park, and several smaller county-managed recreation areas in the surrounding desert. For travelers continuing east toward Joshua Tree National Park or the Mojave National Preserve, the chamber stocks brochures and basic information about those federal park properties, though serious planning should reference the National Park Service directly.

The chamber office is open Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm, with closures on weekends and federal holidays. Travelers arriving on weekends should rely on the website and downloaded PDFs rather than expecting in-person access; the front desk does not staff weekends. The main phone number (760-245-6506) is staffed during business hours and is the easiest way to reach the chamber with specific questions; email through the website contact form is reliable for non-urgent questions and is typically answered within 1-2 business days.

The office is located at 14174 Green Tree Boulevard in Victorville, about 3 miles from the I-15 interchange and roughly equidistant from the Holiday Inn (5 minutes), Old Town Victorville's historic Route 66 district (7 minutes), and Mojave Narrows Regional Park (12 minutes). Free parking is available immediately in front of the office. The visit is brief (15-30 minutes typically) and easily fits into a broader Victorville day.

For Route 66 travelers seeking the most efficient information access, the combination of the chamber's downloadable visitor's guide PDF and a brief conversation with the front-desk staff at the California Route 66 Museum (which is more focused on Route 66 history but is itself a knowledgeable visitor information point) covers most planning needs without requiring a dedicated chamber-office stop. The chamber is most useful for travelers with broader Victor Valley interests beyond just Route 66.
