Lors de notre passage à Monument Valley on souhaiterai faire un tour à Monument Valley. On ne se sent pas de faire la piste avec la voiture (question d'assurance etc..) enfin là n'est pas ma question!
J'ai repéré Navajo Spirit Tour et MV Safari sur Tripad.... Mais il y a tellement de tours prévus... Lequel conseillez vous? Monument Valley? Mystery Valley? Teardrop arch?
Prenez un tour en après-midi qui se termine au coucher du soleil , couleurs magiques...si le ciel est dégagé et si possible un tour qui ne propose PAS un "arrêt barbecue" qui dure 2 h dans un creux paumé
Faire MV , au pas de course, entassés et secoués à 8 ou 12 dans la benne d'un pick-up conduit par un Navajo , aspirant "pilote de rallye" , dans le vent et la poussière 😛
Effectivement , ça fait rêver 🤪🤪
Monsieur le rabat-joie :
1) Comment fait-on sur une route délabrée ou une mauvaise piste pour ne pas être secoués ? J'attends votre solution miracle .
2) Comme ce monsieur , je n'ai pas osé utiliser ma voiture qui était une petite Toyota sans grande garde au sol : si j'avais raclé , attention le surplus à payer à la restitution du véhicule ! Tout le monde n'a pas l'argent pour louer un 4-4 ou un van à 15 litres aux cent km pour parcourir l'Ouest américain sur au moins 3000 km . Donc , j'ai du passer par un véhicule adapté , genre vaste jeep OUVERTE , sans toit , ce qui permettait aux 6 passagers que nous étions et non pas 12 de voir sans cesse devant , à droite et à gauche , chose absolument IMPOSSIBLE aux malheureux passagers de derrière du 4-4 de votre photo . Le chauffeur, connaissant la piste par coeur , était très raisonnable , passant lentement dans LE SEUL PASSAGE délicat ( il n'y en a pas d'autre contrairement à ce que vous suggérez ) qui est juste au début en descente depuis les bâtiments .
3) Au pas de course ? ABSOLUMENT PAS !
Conclusion : si vous avez fait cela au pas de course dans un pick up avec 11 autres touristes et un chauffeur du genre " m'en fous la mort ! " , vous avez été en partie malchanceux .
Je dis en partie parce que le prix est par véhicule , PAS PAR PASSAGER donc il suffit de payer un poil plus cher pour ne pas s'entasser avec d'autres touristes : si vous étiez avec 11 autres personnes , c'est que vous aviez voulu payer le minimum , le genre d'économie stupide !
PS C'est curieux , votre photo-logo me fait songer à ma traversée du Sahara d'Alger au Niger entre Tamanrasset et le Niger avec les dizaines de carcasses de tous ceux qui n'avaient pas 4 roues motrices .
Je l'ai fait avec une berline Ford Taurus qui n'est absolument pas un 4x4 , ni un SUV , seul les 300 ou 400 premier metres réclame un peu d'attention , mais sans aucune difficulté 😉 tous le reste bien que non goudronné , est parfaitement roulant , et est , du reste , emprunté par de nombreuses voitures particulières 🙂
En revanche , j'ai croisé bon nombre de ces Pick Up de tours organisés , roulant à tombeau ouvert , et ce que je décris plus haut était le lot des touristes embarqués a bord qui manifestement n'étaient pas à la fête , moi en tout cas , leur marathon organisé ne m'a guère donné envie 🤪🤪
Après chacun fait comme il le sent , mais autant le savoir avant 😉
P.s : La photo de mon avatar est effectivement prise dans le Hoggar , lors de notre traversée du Sud Algérien en 2010 😉
J'ai fais le tour classique en voiture ( une ford mustang ... ) , franchement je déconseille totalement c'est pas du tout optimale comme visite et pour le peu qu'il pleut vous allez vraiment galérer à remonter la pente du début ...
J'ai également fait le tour à cheval , le black tour hose . Ok c'est un peu cher ( 200 euros pour deux ) mais franchement c'est un de mes meilleurs souvenir , vous allez être avec un guide navajo et là vous allez pouvoir découvrir des endroits inaccessible en voiture .
Si je dois choisir , même avec un 4X4 je reprend le cheval .
Bonsoir, la pente du début est en travaux actuellement, la piste est d'une facilité déconcertante contrairement au nombreux avis. La seule difficulté réside en cas de pluie.
Tant mieux pour vous mais moi , je n'ai pas osé risquer d'abîmer le bas de caisse de ma voiture . Pour moi , cela s'est très bien passé mais je reconnais que pour vous , le fait d'être dans SA voiture procure bien sûr la liberté la plus totale .
PS Je viens de lire un post disant que le passage un peu délicat a été amélioré...et un autre post de quelqu'un qui se contredit : ce serait selon lui la galère en voiture s'il pleut ( ben oui ! j'ai visité 2 fois le grand Canyon , la première sous une pluie battante , la seconde par un temps radieux ; bien sûr , ça change ) et c'est pour cela qu'il a loué un cheval : et s'il pleut à verse , c'est agréable à cheval ? Du n'importe quoi !
Le Hoggar , superbe . J'avais fait un circuit Hoggar-Tassili EXTRAORDINAIRE au printemps . Si vous le pouvez , allez voir les peintures rupestres du Tassili : c'est exceptionnel + ces tours de grès .Seul "défaut" : il faut passer par une agence parce que l'accès ne peut se faire qu'à pied , impossible pour n'importe quel véhicule .
Je suppose que pour arriver au Hoggar , vous êtes passé par la Transsaharienne Gassi Touil-Hassi R'Mel-le M'Zab -Fort Miribel- El Goléa-Tademaï et Tidiket-In Salah ( oh non de dieu ! )-le bord du Grand Erg puis les gorges d'Arak . A l'époque , je n'avais de congés qu'en été donc je l'ai fait au mois d'août ( !! ) ; en fait , j'allais à Abidjan .
1-2 : archi classique . De loin , je croyais qu'il s'agissait d'une statue en plastique : non non !
3 : Timgad
4 : le M'Zab
5-6 : El Goléa
7 : ben oui...
8 : 38 tonnes en fin de journée
9 : quelle cagna !
10 : falaises du Tidiket
11 : In Salah
12 : Bord du Grand Erg
13 : gorges d'Arak
14 : tornades ; la deuxième se forme à droite
15 : classique
16-17-18 : vers le Tassili
19 : falaise du Tassili
20 : site de Tamrit
Pour les peintures rupestres , une autre fois...si ça vous fait envie .
Amitiés .
Alors n'écoute pas ceux qui "ont vu"... mais pas pratiqué, ceux qui savent tout, etc...
- les Jeep/4x4 des locaux qui attendent les clients des TO près du Visitor Center sont à éviter (car les TO veulent les revoir après 1h00/1h30 et là c'est la course...).
- par 2 fois nous avons pris les Tours du Goulding's (lodge/campground) voir leur site, version en 3h30 avec les zones privées (hors de la piste pour tous). Départ à 9h00 mais il existe le même en Sunset Tour vers 16h00. Prix environ 60$/pers.
Peut être mais vous oubliez tous de dire que le tour en voiture est limité à la première boucle soit seulement le 1/4 du parcours et est effectivement facile.
Pour ceux qui pensent et disent avoir fait l'affaire exceptionnelle je vous répète que au prix "standard" tous les tours sont les y compris de Gouldings.
Je suis très septique sur l'intérêt de payer très cher pour un tour malgré tout...
Et si la boucle fait tout juste 1/4, je doute très fort quels vous fassiez les autres 3/4 en Jeep... il vous faudrait sinon 6 à 8H.
J'ai aussi fait les pistes en VTT une année... C'est en tout cas toujours mieux que le tour en Jeep...
J'ai un assez mauvais souvenir de ce genre de transport en direction d'Antelope et je n'ai pas voulu rééditer cette erreur à monument valley...
Nous connaissons "un peu" Sommes en Amérique du Nord en camping car depuis Février 2013 .
Désolé mais rien à voir avec Antelope Upper où il s'agit d'un simple moyen de transport pour se rendre au site. Le tour proposé à Monument Valley dure 2h30 avec de nombreux arrêts et lorsque l'on quitte la piste autorisée où c'est le "défilé de touristes" il n'y a plus personne et c'est très agréable.
Très intéressant et gratuit !! le trail de 2h qui part de l'entrée de la piste et fait le tour des
"buttes" les plus proches , là, même les jours d'affluence il n'y a pas grand monde, il faut marcher !!
La semaine passée nous avons croisé 2 personnes en faisant le tour.
A noter que la piste est interdite aux camping cars.
Bonjour Ophélie!
Nous avons pris un tour privé avec MV Safari... super souvenir, le meilleur du voyage, riche en émotions! Pour plus de renseignements :
http://voyageforum.com/v.f?post=7128847;#7128847
et si tu as des questions.....
Perso on ne prendra pas le risque d'abîmer la voiture!! J'avais lu ton compte rendu.. je ne savais même pas qu'il y avait des tours organisés..
Après tout on y va .. autant profiter !
L'idée de la rando me paraît pas mal aussi !! Est-ce que c'est difficile? Le routard parle de bcp de passage sablonneux?
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! 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:

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).
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!

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?
After our first trip to the West, we’d love to go back to see other must-see spots!
The stay would be from May 11 to 20, 2026—it’s short, but hey...
M11: Lyon to Las Vegas (overnight in Vegas)
T12: Route 66 – overnight in Grand Canyon (GC)
W13: Visit GC – overnight in Page
Th14: Visit Antelope Canyon / Horseshoe Bend – overnight in Monument Valley (MV)
F15: Visit MV – overnight in Moab
Sa16: Visit Arches / Dead Horse Point – overnight in Bryce
Su17: Visit Bryce – overnight in Zion
M18: Visit Zion / Valley of Fire – overnight in Vegas
Tu19: Return flight
What do you think? Could we add one more night somewhere? We’re not big hikers, so we’ll mostly explore the parks using shuttles.
Also, we’re all set—passports are good. Do you think one classic Visa card and one premium Visa card will be enough for coverage?
Thanks so much for your feedback, and happy holidays!
