Love you bro! -
DoubleEgger said:Yellowstone is huge. Fires are commonplace. Don't let that discourage you. It's a 100% must see.
Love you bro! -
Botch said:Zion is close to Bryce, and stunning (especially if you can approach the park from the east, there's this tunnel...).
And Sedona AZ is not too far from Monument Valley, in fact I'm spending next week there myself.
Enjoy the trip! -
See if there are any 'Presidential Libraries' along the way, they are all interesting.Hood Stars, Wrist Crowns and Obsession Dobs!

Tip: Look out for the moose that like to hang out in the willows near the river. I am much more scared of a moose than a bear! -

Anything related to the Grand Canyon. If you are headed to Vegas then take the new bridge over the Colorado by the Hoover Dam. You can park there and walk back over the bridge for the most spectacular view of Hoover Dam you can imagine. You can also tour the dam itself if you have time.

Stormbringer said:My wife and I are embarking on a road trip in September. We are starting in SF, then on to Lake Tahoe, Boise, Boise and Sawtooth National Forests, Idaho Falls, Yellowstone, the Tetons, Arches National Park, Monument Valley, Bryce Canyon and ending in Vegas.
In these places, or areas near them, are there any parks, monuments, etc. that are "oh you must go and see/do that"? Would be grateful of local knowledge to help make our journey outstanding. I did check if there were any CGS outlets en route, no luck though ... well, except Eggs on the Bay but they won't be open when we are there.Hermosa Beach CA -
It's interesting to read different perspectives. I wouldn't give you 50 cents to see the Grand Canyon again. To me it's just a big brown hole in the ground.

Ditch Yellowstone for Estes park and thank me later. Yellowstone was so underwhelming.

I wasn't a big fan of all of the parts of the mountains that had fires. Seemed 3/4 of the park had dead trees. This was back in '99 however. Wasn't a big fan of the recommended campgrounds or hikes either - again comparing to what I had just left in RMNP for my personal taste that is. I actually just got back a few weeks ago from RMNP.
EDIT** My wife wants to go to yellowstone, so I will be going next year Perhaps my perception of beauty has changed since I was a kid in '99. I used to not like bbq... See how that changes!?

There is two national parks in. Moab, Canyonlands and Arches. They are both great and there is a lot to do there. Rent a Jeep and go 4 Wheeling.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.

I think you need to head North out of SF and drive up route 1. It's a very scenic drive all the way up the coast. Then see the redwood forrests. It's amazing to see trees that tall. Those trees are up to almost 380 feet tall. There are redwoods close to SF if you don't have much time, but the coastal redwoods in Northern California are so tall and there's large groves of them that you can drive and walk through.Aledo, Texas

Skip Sedona. ALL the life has been sucked out of the place by New Age Crooks.
Bryce / Zion are considered 'jewels'. Try to actually get OUT of the car and WALK.
Don't forget the CAMERA and that the best times are either EARLY or LATE, not near noon when the shadows are very Uninteresting. -
In souther Utah myself near Zion pm me if you want. We also have snow canyon state park which I like to hike just as much (way less crowded). There is an old mining town/ghost town that is neat called Silver Reef. Also, north of Vegas you have valley of fire which is amazing and not often thought of.

On the way to Yellowstone , Grand Tetons, and Glacier National Park (will be in Rawlings, WY tonight and in the parks Sat). Did this last year and IMO Glacier won out.
But last year went on up the Glacier Highway to Jasper in Canada that was even better as far as the mountains. Safe travels.

We would go back to Crater Lake in a heartbeat. Bryce, Zion, Yellowstone and the others are great recommendations, but we thought Crater Lake was worth a return trip. I have to admit that we had done all of the others before a return engagement, and only Yellowstone amazed us. We had been there before the fire on our first trip, and a number of years after the fire on our return trip. The difference was astounding, but well worth the trip.

Sedona offers scenery combination found nowhere else
