You may have real trouble finding somewhere to stay in and around Yellowstone this late. Start to investigate this quickly.

If on day 14 you are planning to get all the way into Yosemite Valley it will be over 7 hours continuous driving. Make sure you set off very early so that you can take your time going over the Tioga...

John,

Very quickly checkout the RV hire to see if you get a large fee for picking up and dropping off at a different city (pick up LA, drop off Las Vegas). This may change your plans as it is...

We did a similar route back in 2007. Here is a trip report from that route that may give you some ideas http://www.roadtripamerica.com/forum/showthread.php?14594-USA-2007-trip-report&highlight=

Hi Mark,

My advice to you would be to very carefully weigh up the balance between driving time and time spent out of the RV to see where you are driving to. Especially when you are travelling with...

Cody WY is an excellent town to visit with the Buffalo Bill historical centre. This will be on your way to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons national parks which are the unmissable places to see in WY.

You can do both. I would advise to book everything as soon as you are fixed on a plan especially in the NP's as you identify. However, pay close attention to the booking conditions. In most cases if...

Sounds like a great trip to one of my favourite regions of the country.

When in Moab get to Deadhorse State Park near Canyonlands. It has to have one of the best panoramic views in the world.

Dead Horse Point State Park has a view not to be missed near Moab.

My kids still enthuse about the zip line ride and the toboggan run at Park City.

The Craters of the Moon in Idaho and trecking...

Many thanks for the prompt feedback and the links.

I'm glad we can still visit Sunset Crater (AZBuck - we will also be seeing Oak Creek / Sedona and Monument later on our trip)

We will be setting off for this years jaunt across the pond in three weeks (from the UK). During the roadtrip, we were planning to visit Sunset Crater NM in Arizona after seeing the Grand Canyon.

Hannah,

This page gives some beginners tips for new drivers from the UK going to the USA

I agree with the comments about the route and Las Vegas and about Zion and Bryce and I too would lose Durango if I had to to fit them in.

However, I would take a step back and ask yourself the...

I'm guessing you are from the UK. The USA is bigger than you can comprehend until you have been there and driven. You cant go to the west coast and back in 26 days without constantly driving for days...

Along with the excellent road trip and route advice you will recieve on this forum, there is a host of other small details that a first timer from the UK to the USA does not know about. this page is...

Although we took way longer than your 5 days, if you take a look at our route on this page

We are in the process of arranging this years road trip through the South West.

On a few occasions en route we are staying multiple nights. In these places I would much rather stay somewhere that...

Thanks Peter. We did check the View last weekend and there was no availability. When I've checked again there is now.

Hi,

Subject to getting flights arranged this week, we'll be heading for the South West for this years road trip.

The outline plan is

1 Fly to Vegas, after a couple of days, pick up a car.

There are very few places on the planet like Yellowstone. I would take the northerly route. You will see the Grand Tetons as you drive south out of Yellowstone which in my opinion are more...
