Cool Road Trip Vegas LA SF

Hi

Me and my friends are going on a road trip in august. We fly into Las Vegas, then want to go to Grand Canyon, then LA, Monterey, San Fransisco.

I have some Q´s:
-How long time do we need to drive from Vegas to Grand C?
-How long time to drive from Grand C to LA?

Will it be necessary to make stop-overs, and if so, any recommandations on cities/places on the way to see?

Does anyone have any tips what´s not to miss out on?And is there any big happenings in the area between 5-15 of august?

Best,Cam

Default Re: Road Trip Vegas LA SF

Its around 570 miles from Las Vegas to San Francisco and would usually take around 9 hours if you werent planning on making any stops, obviously you are..

It should take you roughly 4 hours to drive to the Grand Canyon as this is almost 300 miles from Vegas,

From the Grand Canyon its around 792 Miles, this journey would take approx 12 hours, but again this would only be if you werent planning on making any stops.

On your journey to the Grand Canyon you could stop off in Phoenix

In Phoenix you could go to the zoo where they have over 200 species, play golf on one of their superb golf courses.

On your trip from the Grand Canyon to San Francisco, depending on how long your planning your trip to be, you could drive east over to San Diego and work your way up the coast, passing through Los Angeles and San Jose before arriving in San Francisco.

Your choosing major cities here so there is so much you are able to do, Restaurants, Bars, Museums, Aquariums, Beaches, Amazing shops, you could visit Big Sur, Old Faithful and the list goes on and on.

Check out the following link for things to do in California

It could turn into a long trip so i don't think you could do it without making some stops. I don't know of you would wanna drive and check out some motels on your way or book accomodation in advance.
