Hello! The itinerary is pretty much set for August 2026. Yeah, I know it’s gonna be *super* hot. But it’s the only time we can get away.
So, here’s the plan: Montpellier-CDG-Dallas.
Stay from July 31 to August 26, 2026:
Car rental – check,
Hotels – check,
Itinerary – almost check,
Photo gear – check,
Budget – check, 🤪
Meal planning – meh, we’ll see...
Walmart, of course, for the cooler when we arrive.
And now, without too much detail...
Fort Worth:
The Longhorns and the Stockyards;
JR’s ranch (for the missus);
Medal of Honor Museum – Arlington.
Houston and NASA Space Center:
See the Gulf of Mexico/America.
San Antonio and the missions.
Fort Stockton for an overnight stop.
El Paso via Guadalupe Mountains:
El Paso and White Sands.
Tucson and the Pima Air & Space Museum:
Tombstone, Bisbee.
Phoenix:
Still working on the program.
Sedona:
Round trip around the area via Flagstaff and Williams, or the Grand Canyon (already done) – we’ll decide on the spot.
Albuquerque:
Santa Fe,
Turquoise Trail,
Los Alamos.
Amarillo via Route 66:
Old Route 66 in the city;
Big Texas Ranch Steak 😏.
Dallas:
JFK Museum;
Perot Museum;
West End district.
And through it all – the road, the road, and more road!!!
We’ll adapt day by day based on our mental and physical state (we’re not exactly spring chickens).
Hey there, yeah, it's hot—really, *really* hot during this time of year.
JR’s ranch is paid entry, and you can’t see anything from the outside.
Think honky-tonk and rodeo at the Stockyards—Billy Bob’s, for example.
The best BBQ is undeniably Salt Lick near Austin.
San Antonio’s River Walk is gorgeous at night, but it’s packed, and all the restaurants are tourist traps...
Driving to the Gulf of Mexico from Houston is doable in a day, but it’s a long haul. Galveston isn’t the most stunning spot, though you can find some beautiful colorful houses near the State Park. Corpus Christi is better—cool U.S. ship, amazing seafood restaurants.
For me, Sedona is best enjoyed on a hike. The few viewpoints are always crowded...
Turquoise Trail is pretty limited—only one town was worth the stop.

The Alamo is great for history.
Good luck with the heat and mosquitoes.
Hi, thanks for your reply! Mine’s a bit late because of a short trip to Haute Provence for the long Ascension weekend.
1. Got it on the heat. Unfortunately, these are the only dates available. I wanted to go back to Yellowstone, but... the family government vetoed it outright.
2. Paid entry planned for JR’s ranch. It’s not really my thing, but once again, the family government has demands...
3. Stockyards—planned for a day, maybe more. Everything’s mapped out.
4. No Austin visit for BBQ, but I’ll keep the spot in mind.
5. Okay on San Antonio and the tourists.
6. Okay on the Gulf of Mexico. We’ll just get a glimpse from the beach near Galveston. Corpus Christi isn’t on the agenda.
7. Sedona—got it, but we’re not hiking anymore. Only upside: I’m an early riser for the light and photos. Tourists are elsewhere—except for other photographers, not just "iPhone users or the like..."
8. Okay on the Turquoise Trail with limited interest.
9. The Alamo for history. Of course—it’s American history that fascinates me, even if it’s not always pretty.
10. For the heat, museums will be our daytime escape. We’ll adapt. I won’t mention the mosquitoes to the family government—they have a knack for targeting the Prime Minister! 😎
Hi there,
Having been to Houston five times (my daughter used to live there), I can tell you there’s quite a bit to do:
NASA: I think the entry fee is a bit steep, and the indoor section is mostly geared toward kids, so it’s a little less engaging for adults. Still, I really enjoyed seeing the recently revamped Starship Gallery—it turned out great. The interesting part is outside, with the "Independence" shuttle on its transport aircraft. But the best thing is to take a "tour" (book in advance or as soon as you arrive) to see the impressive Saturn V rocket and visit the control room, which has been left just as it was. Since I haven’t been to Cape Canaveral yet, I actually quite liked this visit.
Walking around Houston in the summer is pretty tough because of the humidity combined with the heat, but here are some interesting things to do:
- Buffalo Bayou
- Hermann Park
- The Menil Museum
- The area around Market Square Park with lots of murals
If you need more details, don’t hesitate to ask.
For the Gulf of Mexico: because of the frequent hurricanes, the coast isn’t very pretty. In my opinion, Galveston is the best spot. The seaside is nice with its two or three "piers," and since the water is very warm, it’s easy to go for a swim (East Beach is a better bet). The old quarter is also interesting, with buildings that tell a bit of the city’s history. You can see pelicans at Seawolf Park (there’s a fee, but it’s a nice spot for a picnic).
For San Antonio: you can visit the missions by renting bikes at Mission San José and cycling along the river or doing part of it on foot.
1) The interesting part is outside with the "Independence" shuttle on its transport aircraft.
2) But the best is to take a "tour" (book in advance or as soon as you arrive) to see the Saturn V rocket, which is pretty impressive, and check out the control room left just as it was. Since I haven’t been to Cape Canaveral yet, I really enjoyed this visit.
1) Glad you liked the shuttle on its aircraft—I was one of the donors!
2) I took this semi-private tour called the "Level 9 Tour" back then, and it was definitely worth it (though the cost too...). But I don’t think it still exists anymore.
I looked into it, and tours still exist, but things have changed. Access to Saturn V and other rockets, the astronaut training room, and the campus tour are now included in the admission price. You just have to queue up for the Tram... Only the historic control room is extra and requires booking an additional ticket (reserve at least 2 weeks in advance).
Another interesting thing to do in Houston: the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Hindu temple.
The temple is stunning, and attending a Hindu ceremony is a unique experience if you haven’t already been to India.
Fort Worth: The Kimbell and Modern Art museums are great (personally, I love museums, though I know not everyone’s into art…)
Houston: The Rothko Chapel is a masterpiece—and free, too!
For the Gulf of Mexico, if you’ve got time (it’s a trek), head down to Port Isabel and South Padre Island—it’s like Florida in the 70s. And at the mouth of the Rio Grande, you’ve got Musk’s SpaceX base: it’s absolutely mind-blowing! I’ve never been to Cape Canaveral, but I think it feels more like a relic of the past, whereas this is pure 21st century. One of my biggest trip highlights in recent years!
San Antonio’s Mission is worth the detour—rare to find truly historic buildings in the US. As Arnaud mentioned, the Riverwalk restaurants are super touristy, but great for a stroll.
Tucson: If you’re into aviation, Pinal Airpark is one of the largest airplane boneyards in the US (or graveyards, depending on how you see it). It’s probably filling up even more now with the end of Spirit Airlines. It’s right off I-10.
Bisbee: Super cute—if you can, check out the US/Mexico border. There are spots where you can see both the old and new walls side by side.
Phoenix: Apache Trail is nice, and in the city, Scottsdale is the "old" neighborhood. Downtown isn’t that interesting, but the Desert Botanical Garden is pretty cool.
Albuquerque: The old town is really touristy, but my favorite was the Sandia Peak Tramway—a cable car that goes up to an old ski resort (which seems closed now—climate change means no more snow). The view over the city is amazing, and there are trails at the top.
Santa Fe: The center is touristy, but it’s got soul. The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum (the famous NM painter) is solid, and SITE Santa Fe is a great contemporary art space (and free!). On the Turquoise Trail, towns like Madrid and Los Cerrillos are worth seeing. For a taste of the railroad’s westward expansion, Lamy’s train station is a must—it’s one of those abandoned, Wild West legend spots.
Los Alamos: Not much to see, and you’ll need ID to pass through town because of the research labs. Meh—skip it.
In the area, two places I loved: Ghost Ranch and Jemez Hot Springs.
Dallas: Of course, Dealey Plaza, and downtown isn’t bad.
I wasn’t familiar with Pinal Airpark.
But now it reminds me that Tucson also has the AMARG, which I loved.
If it’s still the case, it’s visited in groups by bus. Our guide was a former fighter pilot who shared tons of stories—fascinating!
One of my dreams was to see a giant airplane boneyard, and I stumbled upon it by chance. Of course, we can’t go inside, but even from behind the fences, it’s mind-blowing!
I was really tempted by Pima, but oh well… I hadn’t heard of Amarg before—it looks amazing! Maybe next time! Thanks for the tip!
Tucson: if you're into aviation, Pinal Airpark is one of the largest airplane parking lots (or boneyards, take your pick) in the US... and it’s probably filling up even more right now with the end of Spirit Airlines. It’s right next to I-10.
Unfortunately, it’s no longer open for visits due to security reasons.

GPS for the win with photos! I just looked through my pictures from this trip and realized I actually saw this site from I-10 and took the detour. Even though you can’t visit, the view from the outside is striking! Seeing all those birds that were once the pride of our technology just stored here, waiting to be dismantled...
GPS coordinates: 32.516455 N, 111.324827 W
It was on our route, but just for the 10 minutes of emotion gazing at this "spectacle," the detour was totally worth it. If you love planes, of course!
Just a little story from this park: sure enough, it’s fenced off and you can’t go in, but across the way there’s a lot with a half-dismantled plane and the gate’s wide open. So we slip in for a closer look—awesome. Then a pack of guys on ATVs and beat-up desert-trial trucks rolls up, all jacked and shaved heads.
One of them comes over: “This area’s off-limits.” We say, “Okay, we’re just French tourists, we’re leaving.” The guy looks at us and switches to French: “Ah, I speak your language—I was in the French Foreign Legion in Marseille…”
America and its surprises…
Hi there,
I’d love to return to New York in 2027 (June or September), where I’ve already been for a week back in 2009. The Alexander Hotel, where I stayed, is now closed, and I’m wondering if renting an apartment might be a good idea. There’ll be 6 of us (2 couples), and we’d like to stay around Manhattan, preferably the Upper West Side or Upper East Side. Does anyone have a great tip to share, or, failing that, the details of a decent hotel with a good value for money?
Thanks in advance! ;)
I’ll be in Vancouver for 3 days in mid-February.
What should I do?
Where should I stay?
I found some hotels that seem nice by the water, but that location doesn’t seem very appealing in winter.
Hoping someone can give me a few ideas.
Hi there,
We're thinking of driving Route 66 from Chicago to LA in fall 2027 or spring 2028 for about a month.
From what I've found, it doesn't exist everywhere anymore, but that's okay! We're happy to take detours along the way. We're open to visiting less touristy or even completely off-the-beaten-path spots.
Are there any websites dedicated to this road trip?
I'd love any tips and advice for this journey—accommodations, vehicle rental, the pros and cons.
Thanks in advance!
Hi fellow travelers, do you think there’s a real benefit to spending 2-3 days in Yosemite when I’ll already be spending a week in Banff and Jasper in the Canadian Rockies? Won’t it feel a bit redundant? I’m asking because Yosemite is expensive (I’d go with an agency from SF, staying in a cabin, since I’ll be solo and without a car) and apparently packed.
Thanks for your feedback!
Hello!
We’ll be arriving in Montreal on October 21st for a 3-day stay.
After that, we’re heading to Sherbrooke to visit our daughter, who’s studying at the university there. We’ll spend 3 days with her, and then, since she has a break that week, we’re taking her along for 3 days in Quebec City.
We’ve planned to visit Montmorency Falls and Île d'Orléans.
I’d love to hear what route you’d recommend for the drive from Sherbrooke to Quebec City—we’ll have the whole day to take it easy.
If you have any other recommendations, I’m all ears!
A little disappointed that the fall colors will be over by then, but the dates couldn’t be helped. Thanks in advance for your tips!
Hello everyone,
We’ve planned a trip (retired couple) for late August to the first half of September in Western Canada.
Classic itinerary: arrival in Calgary, Banff, Jasper, Clearwater, Whistler, Vancouver Island, departure from Vancouver.
I know you can’t see into the future any better than I can, so I’m obviously not asking what the wildfire situation will be like in a month...
But if any of you could let me know if, CURRENTLY, there are major difficulties—not just for locals, of course, but for tourists as well?
We’re hesitating between taking the chance or canceling what we still can.
We’re not young anymore and don’t have the flexibility we once did...
A thousand thanks to those of you on the ground or with contacts there who can help us make this decision!
A friend is renting a car for an upcoming trip during the All Saints' holiday.
Nowadays, all rental cars come with GPS, but do you know if you can use it without paying for the GPS rental? I have no idea since I always use my own!
After our first trip as a young couple to the West in 2007 (yes, that doesn’t make us any younger!), we’re planning to go back in 2028, but this time as a family of four! (We have two boys who’ll be 5½ and 13 years old in the summer of 2028.)
Our plan is to combine a few big cities (SF and LA, maybe San Diego) with national parks and state parks, mostly!
Ideally, we’d like to leave at the end of June and head back to France around July 19–20, so we can enjoy the first week of the Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
Since we already did the "loop" in 2007, there are must-see places we absolutely want to revisit—and especially share with our kids: Bryce Canyon, Yosemite, and above all, the Grand Canyon, which is still the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen on Earth!
On the other hand, some places didn’t leave a big impression on us for various reasons, so we’re not making them a priority: Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley, for example.
We’re planning ahead, but might as well be smart about it😏
Do you have any tips for a fun and doable itinerary over about 20–25 days with kids, without rushing?
hi everyone
I’m planning a world trip and I’m looking for great tips on accommodation in the United States.
Do you have any good deals to share, please?
thanks
Hello everyone! Really damaged due to flooding caused by runoff after forest fires (a total mess!), does anyone in this friendly forum have any updates on the Apache Trail between Apache Junction and Roosevelt Dam? Is there still a section of the road that’s tough to navigate?
We're leaving at the end of June and will be driving the route between Buffalo and Cody. We’ve already booked our accommodations and a rodeo in Cody, but during the day, we’ll be driving between the two and I’m unsure about the itinerary.
Which route do you think is the most pleasant, interesting, or scenic between:
- The northern route via Highway 14 with Sheridan, Lowell, etc.
- The southern route with Highways 16/20/14, passing by Loaf Mountain Overlook, Powder River Pass, Ten Sleep Canyon...
We’ll be in a car, so we should be able to drive on any road.
Thanks for your input!
I’m almost done planning our September road trip. After our 3-night visit to Sequoia, we’ll have a stopover night in Coalinga (to break up the drive). We’ll be staying two nights in Monterey and would like to stop along the way to visit one side of Pinnacles National Park. We’re torn between the West entrance and the East entrance, and we’d like to do a short hike of no more than 2 hours since we don’t want to arrive too late in Monterey.
This park is split into two distinct zones with no connection between them, and the mileage from Coalinga to Monterey is pretty much the same for both. Which area do you recommend visiting—east or west? And which route is the most scenic?
I’ve spotted two short hikes:
- East: Moses Spring to Rim Trail Loop
- West: Balconies Cliffs Cave Loop
Has anyone been there, or do you have another hike to suggest?
Thanks in advance, and have a great afternoon!

Hi everyone! 🙂
Just a quick question about King Canyon and Sequoia National Park.
Before our night in Miramonte, we plan to visit King Canyon. The next stop will be two nights in Three Rivers to explore Sequoia National Park. I wanted to go all the way to Roaring River Falls on the King Canyon Scenic Byway and then turn back to head to Miramonte. Since we’re coming from Oakhurst, Google Maps says it’s 300 km and 5 hours of driving. Since we also want to hike to see the sequoias (Big Stump Area and Grand Grove) before tackling the King Canyon Scenic Byway, the timing’s going to be tight. How far do you recommend going before turning back to miss as few points of interest as possible on the King Canyon Scenic Byway? Thanks for your advice, and have a great evening!
Marcalamar 🙂
Hi everyone!
After years of hoping, waiting, planning, then changing, saving, and searching for the best possible route... we're FINALLY off this summer for a 5-week road trip in the West.
I had planned a trip to Colorado in 2021 but canceled due to COVID, so with time passing and my eldest’s high school graduation approaching fast, I figured it was now or never!
Anyway, the itinerary has been modified and extended to please everyone (I’m no longer the only one making decisions!!)

We’ll be alternating between house swaps, motels, and campgrounds. I’ve booked all the accommodations (except the campground at Bryce since sunset bookings open only 14 days in advance) and the first activities, as well as the most touristy ones.
I’m currently putting together my day-by-day roadbook and having some trouble planning certain days, like in LA or Las Vegas. Choosing hikes isn’t easy either—it’s tough to decide!
We’re really excited but could definitely use your help with choices and optimizations!!
Hello.
I’d like to travel along I-15N from San Diego to Las Vegas with my mom, who’s 67. We’ve explored Northern California and the California Coast over the past two years and now want to continue through the desert.
There are several attractions along the way:
- Mormon Rocks
- Desert Discovery Center and visit the Old Woman meteorite
- Joshua Tree National Park
- Mojave Desert
- Mojave National Preserve
- Anza-Borrego Desert State Park
- Silverwood Lake
My mom has back issues that prevent her from hiking or walking on trails with elevation changes. Is it possible to visit these places by car, or are the routes flat enough?
I’d love for her to experience the desert with an itinerary adapted to her condition. I’m also open to other points of interest that aren’t mentioned. We have 3-4 days for the trip, so we’re not in a rush—just want to explore.
I’d love to take a road trip and visit Nova Scotia. I’d appreciate some info on the best cities to see and the most interesting spots. The trip should last about 10 to 15 days, staying in hotels or motels. Thanks in advance!
We’re being relocated to Saint Pierre and Miquelon.
We’ll be taking the flight from Nantes to Montreal and then from Montreal to Saint Pierre.
Could you recommend a hotel near the departure terminal that allows dogs?
Hi,
My 16-year-old son is flying to Grand Rapids with other kids his age. There’s a layover in Detroit. There’s no unaccompanied minor service available. Is it pretty easy to navigate Detroit Airport to catch the connecting flight to Grand Rapids (domestic flight)? There are several of them who speak English well.
Thanks for your replies,
Good evening, everyone! 🙂
Just a few last questions to wrap up our Lake Tahoe visit plans.
**Parking:**
We’d like to walk to Eagle Falls and then Eagle Lake. I’ve spotted two parking lots that seem close to each other and give access to the trailhead. Where and how do we pay for entry to Emerald Bay State Park and Inspiration Point?
**Viewpoints on the East Side:**
Are most of the viewpoints (Balancing Rock, Granite Cave, Bonsai Rock, etc.) right by the road, or do you have to hike to reach them?
**Donner Memorial State Park:**
Is it worth making a detour to Truckee to visit this park and the Truckee historic downtown?
Hi there. I'm shocked by the price of the Upper Antelope Canyon tour—$175 for less than an hour… You might say, "if you can’t afford it…" But the real question is whether it’s really worth it, because $350 for two makes me feel like I’m getting ripped off. For those who’ve done both Lower and Upper, can you tell me if the price difference is really justified? Thanks
Hi everyone! 🙂
As you can see, we're heading back from September 6th to the 27th.
Everything’s booked for September—flights, accommodations, and the car. As I plan, I’ll be asking the experts for help. This is our second trip to California, but most of the stops are new to us.
We’ll start directly from San Francisco to our first overnight stop, Davis, before heading to Lassen Volcanic Park for 4 nights. Our flight lands at 12:50 PM.
Here’s our itinerary:
Day 1: Davis – overnight stop
Day 2: Red Bluff – exploring Lassen Volcanic Park (scenic drive to Lake Helen)
Day 3: Susanville – scenic drive through the park via the South Entrance, points of interest, and hikes
Day 4: Susanville – Cinder Cone and Painted Dunes hike
Day 5: Susanville – Warner Valley (hikes)
Day 6: South Lake Tahoe
Day 7: South Lake Tahoe
Day 8: Mammoth Lake
Day 9: Mammoth Lake
Day 10: El Portal via Tioga Road
Day 11: El Portal
Day 12: El Portal
Day 13: Oakhurst
Day 14: Miramonte
Day 15: Three Rivers
Day 16: Three Rivers
Day 17: Coalinga
Day 18: Monterey
Day 19: Monterey
Day 20: San Francisco
Day 21: San Francisco
Day 22: Departure
For hikes in Lassen Volcanic Park, I’ve planned:
Bumpass Hell, Cold Boiling Lake (Day 2)
Paradise Meadow (maybe not going all the way), Devastated Area, and the loop around Reflection and Manzanita Lakes (Day 3)
Cinder Cone and Painted Dunes (Day 4)
Devil’s Kitchen and Boiling Spring Lake (Day 5)
I’ve read there are trails to access the trailheads for Cinder Cone (11 km) and Warner Valley. Are these easy trails for an SUV?
Are there any other must-see spots or things we shouldn’t miss?
That’s where I’m at for now. Thanks for your replies, and have a great evening!

I’m a total USA addict. I’ve already done several road trips, including the East Coast and West Coast.
I’m here today because I’m planning to go back for another road trip on the West Coast. Possibly with one of my sisters and a couple of friends. It’s still just a plan for now, but I’m working on an itinerary in the meantime. Ideally, I’d leave in 2026, but I don’t have the exact dates yet—maybe April-May or September-October.
My last trip to the West Coast was in September 2014. We went for 2 weeks, but this time it’d be 3 weeks. What made me want to go back was simply a colleague who just left today. As I’m writing this, he’s on the plane. I’m so happy for him, but now all I can think about is going back.
Since I recently went to NY, I noticed that prices have really gone up. I assume the same is true for the West Coast? For 2 people over 3 weeks, what budget should I expect? We’re the type to watch our spending and find great tips.
I think we’ll arrive in San Francisco like the first time and leave from either Los Angeles or Las Vegas.
Thanks for advising me on the booking—should I reserve a room in the hotel or go for a cabin for the best view?
Should I get breakfast or not?
What do you think of the restaurant?
Hello, if the off-the-beaten-path enthusiasts are still around 😉, I’d love some info on tackling these trails. I’m not super familiar with the rules, risks, or what to expect—I’m looking for firsthand experience from folks who’ve done it on their own once or multiple times.
Hi everyone!
I’m planning a week-long family trip to NYC in October 2026. The focus is on museums and soaking up the New York vibe. I’ve been checking Airbnb, but the prices in Manhattan are through the roof. Since I don’t know NYC well, is it "wise" to look outside Manhattan? Any neighborhoods you’d recommend?
