A little tweaking to get to see the best of nature's wonders.
Hi, and Welcome to the Great American Roadtrip Forum.
How long do you plan to stay at the Grand Canyon?
Be aware that flights/tours from LV to the GC do as a rule not go to the national park. They normally go to the west rim, which is no where near as spectacular as the NP.
The GC is 5 hours drive from LV. I suggest that you spend at least a full day there, to explore the various sights and to witness a sunset and/or sunrise over the canyon. An unforgettable experience.
Get onto the NP wesbsite and check for the availability of accommodation within the park. If there are no vacancies, don't give up. People's plans change and cancellations do happen. So check back frequently.
It may mean taking a day or two from one of your other destinations.
When in LV see if you can make a day trip to Death Valley NP. An amazing place, and a good time of the year to visit.
If you are planning to drive the Pacific Coast Highway between LA and SF - highly recommended - be sure to allow two days for the journey. Another amazing view of the best nature has to offer.
