Decisions decisions
Hi
I am desperate for a road trip in the USA, especially as we had to cancel our Florida one last year due to Hurricane Dorrian. So where would you suggest? Not Los Angeles to San Fran inc Death Valley Yosemite and Vegas. We have done that. Although not opposed to starting in San Fran and driving north. Considerations are New England Denver, Colorado to New Mex, Arizona ( Grand Canyon) Or SF to Washington State ( Seattle) or Seattle, Vancouver Canada. Any thoughts? I am an Indpendent Travel Agent so it'd be easy for me to source the costings just want suggestions on the different areas. Thanks

Have you thought about Canada? Vancouver, Vancouver Island, Whistler, Jasper, Banff and Calgary? Lots of beautiful scenery, lots of things to do and a better exchange rate for us brits!

Our favourite was Grand Canyon, Monument Valley and Mighty 5 national parks in Utah .Also enjoyed Yellowstone and Grand Tetons, depending on how long you are looking at because this would be shorter.

We've done these also, and can 100% recommend!
We've done Grand Canyon, South Rim, on 2 occasions now - but on our last road trip we did 'The Grand Circle' tour which took in The Mighty 5 and we also incorporated both the Grand Canyon AND an overnight at the mindblowing View Hotel inside Monument Valley too! We covered some miles on that trip, and it was a lot of hotels - but it was soooo absolutely worth it!

We did New York then caught an Amtrac down to Boston and collected a car and toured around Cape Cod. We took a ferry over to Martha's Vineyard for a day but wished we'd stayed longer. Whale watching from Provincetown was amazing. We loved Boston and plan to return again in the future, we'd also like to explore more of New England.

There’s so many stunning p,aces to visit. Wish I lived there to negate flight costs over the Atlantic.

We have done Vancouver, Vancouver Island, Seattle and Whistler - fabulous!
We have done three trips round Quebec (Montreal, Quebec City, plus lots of smaller areas where the focus was on the wilderness) and last year we did New England - Hampton Beach, Vermont, Acadia and Plymouth. All are recommended!

We did Seattle to Yellowstone and the grand tetons last year, incorporating attending a wedding in Spokane, and it was fabulous so well worth considering that area too

What time of year?
Summer? I would choose either SF to Washington State or New England. A few years back we drove from NYC to SF -- caravan. Took a week, nice and slow. Wonderful memories for us and the kids! Still, it was very stressful. Some beautiful things to see, but driving the mountain roads was not easy. Were I to go again, I would fly to one city and drive locally, staying in a hotel, with an SUV.
