I've been in Southern Utah and just finished a trip to California. Mile-per-Mile, I think Utah and the Grand Canyon area wins. California's Sierras were nice, but the time to drive through the real mountainous areas really limits your time.

Southern Utah is a must see for any world traveler. So many national parks that are absolutely stunning. Arches was the one I made it to. But even the back roads through there are a sight to see.

Just got back from 2 weeks in the west coast.

We flew fron London to LA. 2 days in LA then hired a car and drove the coast route to Monterey (amazing scenery). 1 night in Monterey where we did the '17 mile drive' which was mega! Then onto San Francisco for 4 nights. Left San Fran and drove to Yosemite and staying in Curry Village - excellent location. After 2 nights in Yosemite we headed for Las Vegas to drop the car off and spend 4 days! Took the chopper from LV to the Grand Canyon which was great. We then flew out of Las Vegas. Really easy and amazing road trip!
