Question:
Humans say...
Amber
Just did a similar road trip this past summer. Are u traveling with pets?
Diane
Hi Amber - no pets. Just the two of us. Would love to hear your recommendations!
Amber
Diane if u plan to visit at least 3 national parks, be sure to buy a parks pass (valid for one year) and way cheaper than individual admission.
Rosemary
The Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg is very interesting
Olga
Grand Junction is beautiful, was there last summer
Jeannett
If going from Vancouver to LA then the Oregon Coast is a must. And absolute must. Other than Santa Barbara between SAN Fran and LA that’s the best part
Diane
I agree on the Oregon Coast!! The Monterey Peninsula (17 Mile Drive, Big Sur, Monterey) is lovely.
Diane
Also Moab area, Dead Horse Point, Corona Arch (hike) and Arches Nat Park. If you are fit and keen hikers, Fiery Furnace (ranger led slot canyon hike in Arches) is amazing, as is Delicate Arch. Colorado Monument between Fruita and Grand Junction is great too.

Diane first time I drove the Oregon Coast I was alone and at every stop I was blown away by the beaches and rock formations. I camped along the way. Amazing.
Diane
Diane Thank you for the great suggestions!
Brad
Jeannette P Gallant all 3 times i drove to la went the I 5 and then over to san fran. Gonna try this oregon coast next time
Jeannett
Brad it’s the bomb. Absolutely. I’ve done your way and regretted it after. Take the time and stop along the way
Deb
In Utah, if you are hikers or scramblers, try heading down to Escalante and the slot canyons. Quite amazing and no crowds. Also we had a great hike in Canyonlands. Worth getting off the beaten path.

We took a guided hike right by Monument Valley in Utah with Carol. It was a highlight of our trip! https://www.airbnb.ca/experiences/214589?location=Utah%2C%20United%20States&checkin=2019-06-10&checkout=2019-06-14&adults=1&children=0&infants=0&source=p2¤tTab=experience_tab&searchId=119c02c2-379b-4fbf-bb48-ffc1058e41e8&federatedSearchId=121626fb-fb3d-4f14-ba7c-ebd3b3245d1b§ionId=19b4bc5d-db74-45e6-a3e0-03de73b2c2ea
