Luna's Mum Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hello All! Yes, I know, who is this stranger that hasn't posted for months and is a very bad forum member!! very, very sorry but life has been incredibly busy and the latest edition of the the forum won't allow me to post from my mobile and I'm very rarely online at home. Anyhoooo........ I have a very cheeky request... I get married next April and we are planning an amazing American road trip for our honeymoon! We were originally planning to go straight after the wedding, until we discovered that Sequoia National Park gets around 2ft of snow in April and the road we want to drive along is usually closed until the end of May!! D'oh! So, new plan, we're going in June instead! My cheeky request comes in the form of knowledge...I know some of you lovely people live in the good old US of A and I wondered if you could let me know the best places to visit...and where to avoid! Below is a little route we have planned, we're going for two weeks and plan on spending 4 days in San Francisco at the end but the other days are fairly free...we're going to find hotels & b&b's before we go and book when we get there.(Bishop has only been planned in as an overnight stopping point because the drive into the Sequoia area from Las Vegas is too long!) Any useful tips are greatly appreciated and I am sooo sorry for being abscent!! Privacy and sharing settings Learn more [TABLE] [TD][/TD] [TD]Public - Shared with everyone.

Removed #2 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Are you only planning on California and Nevada? It would be well worth the effort to plan a couple of days at the Grand Canyon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleLuka Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Where is the Grand Canyon' date=' compared to where I've put on my list?[/quote'] about 5 hours from Las Vegas. Long Beach, CA and Huntington Beach, CA are really nice just watch for sharks haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed #2 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Where is the Grand Canyon' date=' compared to where I've put on my list?[/quote'] About 5 hours north of Las Vegas in Colorado (I think)...well worth the effort...where else can you say that you've ridden a donkey half way down a very steep canyon and back up again? I actually did that on my honeymoon...though we aren't married anymore. The trip was just fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponder85 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I second the comments about th grand canyon. When my parents went to Vegas they took a day to go to the grand canyon and Hoover dam. Said it was well worth it. I was in Vegas about a week before they were, and we didn't go. But it was guys trip, and we weren't in any condition to be walking around the top of steep hills. Next time I'm out that way I'll definitely be going.

Luna's Mum Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Fab! Thank you for the tip. We've looked in to flights & its a few hundred quid cheaper to fly in to LA than Vegas or Phoenix so I think we might just have to accept the long drive & head to the grand canyon first!

sutsibe Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 The Grand Canyon is definitely something to not miss! Bears could be a problem (wear bells, be very careful with any food, and obey all warnings), but I personally would worry more about snakes... Have a great time, regardless!

Osinn11 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Lots of great things to see down in Southern Utah. Bryce Canyon & Zions National Park. Moab is also awesome (Arches National Park) I ageee the Grand Canyon is also a site to see. Check flights into Salt Lake International Airport. Vegas is only a 6 hour drive from Salt Lake.
