Hello all,

I'm new to this whole game but am planning a road trip for June/July 2014.

I fear I may only have a fortnight. Ideally I'd love to take in LA, San Francisco and the Grand Canyon, with some stops along the way obviously.

But is that overambitious for a fortnight?

Would LA, Vegas and the Canyon be easier? What's the best way of combining at least some of California with the Grand Canyon within a two-week drive?

Ideally, I would begin and finish in LA too to add to the complications as it seems to be expensive not to fly in and out of the same location.

Might it be easier just to stick to California?

Also given the time of year, will Death Valley etc be unbearably hot?

Look forward to benefiting from your expertise.

Richard
