Since you have extensive SF experience, I figure you know what to do there.<BR/><BR/>After Denver instead of going Northernly towards Wyoming, go South-West and hit Southern Utah (Bryce Canyon NP and Zion NP) that is my FAVORITE spot in America, then head through Vegas/Hoover Dam, take the small highway through Death Valley NP, which will put you on the back of Sequoia NP and Kings Canyon NP, head North again into the Southern entrance of Yosemite NP then continue on to San Francisco. You can hit Tahoe and Wyoming on the drive back home.<BR/><BR/>I did this route in 1999, but kept going North up to Denali NP in Alaska.<BR/><BR/>Now you've got me all worked up and I am going to have to post about this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35934196.post-41046834514742262492008-03-26T21:13:00.000-05:002008-03-26T21:13:00.000-05:00I could not tell you much about the west, I have n...I could not tell you much about the west, I have not ventured out that direction very much.

My nephew (all of 16) goes VERY often because his girlfriend (oh yeah, they're all homeschooled) lives up there and he's totally into the nouveau-hippy thang going on. Point is, kids LOVE that place. And how, exactly, can you go wrong in Monterrey? I hear the aquarium is unrivalled. They have little rooms where the real ocean fishies can float in. Oh. And there's a Henry Miller museum there.booda babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09424036488795599663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35934196.post-12389165110631487542008-03-26T09:09:00.000-05:002008-03-26T09:09:00.000-05:00There are only a few stops that are worth while be...There are only a few stops that are worth while between Lincoln Nebraska and Salt Lake.
