5 weeks in the American West with family in summer 2026
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!!)
Here’s our final route: Day 1 - 7/12/2026 - Brussels / Los Angeles Day 2 - 7/13/2026 - Los Angeles Day 3 - 7/14/2026 - Los Angeles Day 4 - 7/15/2026 - Los Angeles Day 5 - 7/16/2026 - Los Angeles Day 6 - 7/17/2026 - Los Angeles / Kingman Day 7 - 7/18/2026 - Kingman / Grand Canyon Day 8 - 7/19/2026 - Grand Canyon / Page Day 9 - 7/20/2026 - Page Day 10 - 7/21/2026 - Page / Monument Valley Day 11 - 7/22/2026 - Monument Valley / Durango Day 12 - 7/23/2026 - Durango Day 13 - 7/24/2026 - Durango Day 14 - 7/25/2026 - Durango Day 15 - 7/26/2026 - Durango / Glenwood Springs Day 16 - 7/27/2026 - Glenwood Springs Day 17 - 7/28/2026 - Glenwood Springs / Moab Day 18 - 7/29/2026 - Moab Day 19 - 7/30/2026 - Moab Day 20 - 7/31/2026 - Moab Day 21 - 8/1/2026 - Moab Day 22 - 8/2/2026 - Moab / Vernal Day 23 - 8/3/2026 - Vernal / Grand Teton Day 24 - 8/4/2026 - Grand Teton Day 25 - 8/5/2026 - Grand Teton / Cody Day 26 - 8/6/2026 - Cody / Yellowstone Day 27 - 8/7/2026 - Yellowstone Day 28 - 8/8/2026 - Yellowstone Day 29 - 8/9/2026 - Yellowstone Day 30 - 8/10/2026 - Yellowstone / Salt Lake City Day 31 - 8/11/2026 - Salt Lake City / Bryce Canyon Day 32 - 8/12/2026 - Bryce Canyon / Zion Day 33 - 8/13/2026 - Zion Day 34 - 8/14/2026 - Zion Day 35 - 8/15/2026 - Zion / Las Vegas Day 36 - 8/16/2026 - Las Vegas Day 37 - 8/17/2026 - Las Vegas / Los Angeles Day 38 - 8/18/2026 - Los Angeles Day 39 - 8/19/2026 - Los Angeles / Brussels Day 40 - 8/20/2026 - Brussels / Home
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!!

Questions about SUV trails and must-sees for a California road trip
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! Marcalamar 🙂

Upper Antelope Canyon prices
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
Is the Magic Bus 142 on public display in Fairbanks?
Hi there,
Is the Magic Bus 142, which is at the Museum of the North in Fairbanks for restoration, currently on public display? Can we see it during a visit to the museum? Thanks so much for your help! Syl

RV trip across Alaska
Hi everyone,
My husband and I are planning an RV trip to Alaska. If any of you have already done a road trip in that part of the world, could you share your experience with us? We’re planning to leave in mid-June (departing from Halifax).
Any tips or info would be greatly appreciated.

Various questions for a Yukon-Alaska road trip
Hi everyone,
I’m finally heading to the Yukon in May-June 2025 and also Alaska.
My flight is booked, the truck camper too, but I’m a bit stuck on visas:
I’ll arrive in Canada by plane, drive to Alaska by road, and return to Canada by road before flying out again. Is the eTA sufficient?
I’d also love to hear from people who’ve done this trip—great tips, places to stay, warnings, or personal experiences!
What about bear spray? Where can I find it, and how much does it cost?
I’ll be spending a few days in Whitehorse when I arrive on May 8th, and again the weekend of June 20th—any suggestions for accommodation are welcome.
I’m Belgian and flying out of Germany.
How to travel from Mexico to Costa Rica by ferry?
Hi there,
I’m looking for a ferry or Ro-Ro passage for my vehicle and two passengers from Mexico to Costa Rica. I haven’t found anything online. If you know of any regular routes, I’d love to hear about them!

Martine and DD in Colorado and Utah
Hello everyone! 🙂
So many silent months, and now Voyage Forum is accessible again. That’s cool because we can pick up our discussions for our mutual enjoyment.
I hope everyone is doing well and that you’ve been able to take some great trips, whether to the USA or elsewhere.
In September 2020, we had planned a round trip to explore Colorado, but unfortunately, a nasty virus messed up our plans, closing borders and keeping us stuck at home. Luckily for us, canceling the car, flights, and accommodations didn’t cost us a thing—everything was refunded.
In 2023, a loop from Las Vegas let us revisit places we’d seen in 2017 and discover new ones, this time spending more time at each stop with some lovely hikes.
In 2024, we finally revisited the 2020 plan, and I’ll start with that.
However, unforeseen circumstances mean I have much less time than before, so I’ll keep my trip reports shorter (ha ha ha—you’ll have less of my prose to endure).
Another change: for those who remember the "Gang of Four crazy sixty-somethings," it was just DD and me this time. Our dear Mimi and Maumau left the Var to focus on raising horses and can’t leave their little green paradise to join us anymore. We were unfortunately much tamer without them.
We traveled from September 11 to October 3.
The itinerary

Day 1: Flight Marseille-Paris-Denver, then Manitou Springs (133 km) Day 2: Manitou Springs (49 km) Day 3: Cripple Creek (104 km) Day 4: Salida (254 km) Day 5: Great Sand Dunes (231 km) Day 6: Durango (283 km) Day 7: Durango (Durango-Silverton train) Day 8: Ouray (121 km) Day 9: Ouray (Perimeter Trail hike) Day 10: Cortez (213 km) Day 11: Cortez (Mesa Verde National Park, 134 km) Day 12: Monticello (268 km, detour to Chesler Park) Day 13: Moab (171 km, Delicate Arch) Day 14: Moab (98 km, Fisher Towers) Day 15: Moab (171 km, Canyonlands) Day 16: Fruita (210 km, Colorado National Monument) Day 17: Crested Butte (224 km via Kebler Pass) Day 18: Crested Butte (57 km) Day 19: Glenwood Springs (150 km) Day 20: Glenwood Springs (118 km, Rifle State Park) Day 21: Georgetown (258 km via Independence Pass) Day 22: Denver (123 km), then return flight
We speak very little English. We spent 21 nights there and covered a 3,400 km loop by car and 160 km on foot (we’re still trying to hike while we’re in shape) from Denver in September 2024. We wanted this road trip to help us explore Colorado a bit more—we’d only spent 6 nights there in 2019—and to see it during the fall foliage season. We also wanted to return to Utah (we love Moab) to enjoy its red rocks, which we adore.
In the prices you see (some in euros, others in dollars), I’ve included bank fees and exchange charges. The flights, car, and parking were paid by credit card when we booked in February. Usually, we book around November, but some obligations kept us from doing it earlier. We downloaded the MPC (Mobile Passport Control) app on our phone, which saved us time at immigration.
📊 **Budget: just under 8,500 € for both of us, all included**
📊 **Flights** Marseille-Paris (CDG)-Denver: 2,152 € for both of us, with one checked bag each
📊 **ESTA and America the Beautiful Pass** The ones from our 2023 road trip were still valid
📊 **Parking at Marseille airport: 122 €**
📊 **Car: Nissan Rogue (the French X-Trail) from Hertz: 1,165 €** By booking through Air France (and earning miles), we got a 15% discount. Hertz offers a free Hertz Gold Plus Rewards program, which gives us priority counter service.
📊 **Accommodation: 3,050 €** We stayed in motels and hotels of various ranges (from 100 € to 270 € per night, depending on the city), all booked through Hotels.com or Booking. Booking sometimes offers cheaper rates if you book via the "Booking mobile" app. We also got some preferential rates thanks to our Genius 2 status. Out of 21 nights, only one place didn’t include breakfast.
📊 **Other expenses (activities booked by credit card before leaving)** Durango-Silverton train: 210 € (we booked the enclosed vintage coach in March) Mesa Verde: Balcony House: 15.15 € (booked 14 days before the visit) Timed-entry passes for Arches National Park: 6 € for 3 days (booked June 1 for September entries via http://récreation.gov/). We booked three different days to play with the weather.
📊 **Supplementary insurance with AVA: 204 €** (due to our age 😅 and the high cost of medical consultations in the USA)
📊 **Cash: 1,540 €** We left with 1,000 € exchanged before departure and made two withdrawals (500 $ and 200 $). This cash was used to pay for: - Evening restaurants and tips (between 70 $ and 95 $ for two meals and two drinks) - Two state parks: Dead Horse State Park (20 $) and Rifle State Park (10 $) - The Monarch Pass gondola (24 $) - Midday picnics - Gas (slightly cheaper with cash): 204 $ for 3,400 km - Personal souvenirs and little treats.
Like in our previous road trips, we didn’t rent a GPS. We used the offline GPS app Here We Go, for which we’d downloaded maps of Colorado and Utah from France, as well as a new offline app called Organic Maps as a backup—though we didn’t end up needing it.
❤️❤️❤️ **Highlights (there are so many!)** 📍 The stunning landscapes of Colorado, especially with the fall colors 📍 A step back in time at the old farm in Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument 📍 The prairies of Cripple Creek and the mining remnants of the Vindicator Trail 📍 The cheeky chipmunks in the ghost town of St. Elmo 📍 Great Sand Dunes and its soft sand 📍 The steam train between Durango and Silverton: we’re glad we chose the round-trip because it rained heavily on the way there, but we got to enjoy the scenery on the way back when the sun came out 📍 The unexpected meet-up with Michèle from the group outside a restaurant in Durango 📍 The hot springs in Ouray 📍 Mesa Verde and its still-vibrant past 📍 The red rocks of Moab and Delicate Arch at sunset 📍 The lace-like Fisher Towers and the view from the end of the trail 📍 The gorgeous Route 128 leading to Colorado National Monument—small, easy to visit, and so beautiful 📍 The colors of the fabulous Kebler Pass, Crested Butte, and especially the hike through the golden aspens (Lower and Upper Loop) 📍 The waterfalls at Rifle State Park 📍 The tundra of Independence Pass 📍 The Halloween decorations in Georgetown and Idaho Springs
😞😞 **Flops (there are very few!)** 📍 The viewpoints we missed because they weren’t well-marked or we didn’t see the signs 📍 The closure of some hiking trails (Hanging Lake and parts of Canyonlands) and the Sal Mountain Loop road, which kept us from accessing it 📍😢 The Chesler Park hike we had to cut short due to poor time management—180 km between our stop in Cortez meant we didn’t arrive until 10:30 AM, way too late for a 17 km hike.
Hope this helps! Have a great evening, everyone, and see you soon! 😊

23-Day Itinerary in the Pacific Northwest (USA) and Western Canada
Hi everyone,
We’re heading to the Pacific Northwest (USA) and Western Canada this summer. We’ve made some progress planning, but we still have a few questions.
Our trip is mostly nature-focused—hiking, wildlife spotting (ideally bears, orcas/whales, otters, etc.), mountains, forests—and a few days in cities, though we’re not big on museums.
We’re looking at flying into Seattle (cheaper than Vancouver), then renting a car and staying in Airbnbs.
A few years ago, we traveled through eastern Canada/USA (Halifax/Montréal/Boston/Halifax) and ended up driving *way* too much and switching accommodations too often. This time, we’d like to settle in a bit more.
Here’s our current plan:
- 2 nights in Seattle to avoid hitting the road right after the flight. One day for a quick city visit, then we’ll leave early after the second night. -> Heading to Olympic National Park from the south.
- 4 nights near Olympic National Park, likely around Forks. -> Then to Port Angeles and a ferry to Vancouver Island via Victoria (maybe 1 night there).
- 7 nights in Port Alberni, which seems like a central base for exploring Vancouver Island (Tofino, Pacific Rim, Cathedral Grove, etc.). We really want to enjoy the area without constantly packing and unpacking.
The issue is, that brings us to 13–14 nights, and we’d like to spend 2 in Vancouver.
We’re wondering if we should head farther north on the island and add a few more days, or reduce our stay in Port Alberni to explore the north as well.
After that, we’d have about a week left. We’re considering a detour near the Canadian Rockies, then slowly making our way back to Seattle via North Cascades National Park.
Anyway, we’d love your input on all this!
Thanks for your suggestions,
Emilie and Thomas

Exploring the jungle around the San Juan River
Hi,
A guide for a trek to get into the jungle area near Los Guatuzos, or alternatively near Bartola, close to the large Indio-Maíz reserve? Who knows these areas? We’d love to discover some wilder wetlands, maybe spot some wildlife... travel up tributaries by lancha... So if you’ve got any tips or experiences to share, I’m all ears! Thanks

Day 4 - Wednesday, April 9: Day trip to Key West (2-hour round trip from Marathon) - Fort Zachary Taylor State Park - Stroll through Old Town in the late afternoon and sunset at Mallory Square - Night in Marathon
Day 5 - Thursday, April 10: Marathon - Florida City (1.75-hour drive) - Bahia Honda State Park - If we’re up for it: Turtle Hospital or kayaking - Night in Florida City
Day 6 - Friday, April 11: Everglades - Fort Myers Beach - Start with the Anhinga Trail, then an airboat tour in the area—but where? Any recommendations? - Morning: Shark Valley? Loop Road in Big Cypress National Preserve? I’d love your input here. My youngest is too small to handle biking in Shark Valley on her own (unless there are cargo bikes available?). On foot, it seems tricky, and the shuttles don’t really appeal to us. Is it better to skip Shark Valley and focus on Loop Road? Is the day too ambitious with the drive back to Fort Myers Beach? I wanted to avoid Naples because I’d prefer to stay two nights in each place to avoid changing hotels every day. But if it’s too tight, we’ll do one night in Naples and one in Fort Myers Beach. - Night in Fort Myers Beach
Day 7 - Saturday, April 12: Sanibel Island - Day on the island with bike rentals to reach J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge, then beach time (Bowman’s Beach?) - Night in Fort Myers Beach
Day 8 - Sunday, April 13: Fort Myers Beach - Crystal River (3.5-hour drive) - Beach at Siesta Key, then drive to Crystal River - If time and energy allow, Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park upon arrival - Night in Crystal River
Day 9 - Monday, April 14: Crystal River - Weeki Wachee Springs for kayaking to see manatees if we’re lucky, plus the mermaid show (mostly for the kids ) Any other spots for manatees or kayaking? I know it’s not the best month to see them, but you never know! Anything else to do or see in this area? - Night in Crystal River
Day 10 - Tuesday, April 15: Crystal River - Orlando (1.75-hour drive) - A bit of a transition day—maybe Disney Springs and/or an outlet mall - Night in Orlando
Day 11 - Wednesday, April 16: Disney World - Day at Animal Kingdom - Night in Orlando
Day 12 - Thursday, April 17: Disney World - Day at Magic Kingdom - Night in Orlando
Day 13 - Friday, April 18: Cape Canaveral - Visit to the Kennedy Space Center - Night in Orlando
Day 14 - Saturday, April 19: Return - Flight departs Orlando at 1:05 PM
It was tough making choices for the Orlando parks. As a huge Harry Potter fan, I was leaning toward Universal, but the girls have never been to Disney in Paris and are huge Disney fans, so skipping Magic Kingdom seemed tricky.
And that’s my long post! Thanks so much for reading and for your invaluable help.

Voyage en famille aux Amériques
Bonjour à tous,
Avec mon épouse et mes 3 garçons nous envisageons un très long voyage aux Amériques. Notre objectif est d'arriver au canada et de descendre jusqu'au sud sud. Pour cela et pour l'instant nous envisageons de descendre en hymer S660 de 84. Pour ceux qui ont déjà passé ces frontières, quels sont les problèmes que nous pouvons rencontrer au douanes. Par exemple, les permis de conduire B (francais et international) sont ils ok pour conduire des cc la bas? Le poids du véhicule est il problématiques (risque de surcharge).
Une autre option que nous envisageons est d'acheter un CC la bas directement. Mais j'ai peur que les problèmes de frontières soient plus importantes avec un CC canadien en amérique du sud.
Avez vous des expériences à partager ? Tous vos conseils sont les bienvenues.

Louer une voiture avec tente de toit aux États-Unis
tout est dans le titre ...
est-il facile de louer une voiture , pas forcément 4*4 avec une tente de toit aus States pour réduire le cout logement en hotel et toujours pouvoir se caser dans les zones en tension ? (pour 2 !)
merci !
Camping ou woofing en Martinique
Bonjour,
Avec une amie, nous nous rendons en Martinique du 2 novembre au 17 décembre environ. Nous souhaiterions avoir quelques infos sur les campings:
- Est-ce qu'ils existent des campings "longue-durée" où nous pourrions avoir un prix au mois et non à la nuit? - Quels coins nous conseillez-nous? - La voiture est-elle nécessaire où existe-t'il un système de bus pour aller dans différents endroits de l'île?
Aussi, dans l'idéal, nous recherchons plutôt à faire du woofing dans des endroits de permacultures ou éco-construction où nous pourrions planter la tente. Nous avons quelques expériences en métropole et souhaiterions avoir une même expérience en Martinique.
- Connaissez-vous ce genre d'endroits là-bas?
Je vous remercie,
Leïla et Sarah

Arnaque dans une chambre d'hôtel au Belize
Hello les voyageurs,
Je voulais savoir si certaines d'entre vous avaient déjà rencontré des soucis au Belize ?
Je ne suis pas du tout de nature méfiante, je voyage souvent sans d'ailleurs faire assez attention. Il ne m'est jamais rien arrivé de négatif en voyage, si ce n'est au Belize.
J'étais allée avec ma meilleure amie (depuis le Mexique car nous habitions là-bas). Nous avions une chambre d'hôtel basique. Durant la nuit, un homme (un voleur bien connu de la ville), est entré dans notre chambre et nous a volé toutes nos affaires de valeur. Nous l'avons vu mais au moment où il repartait. C'était trop tard.
Ce qui est dingue dans cette histoire, c'est que cet homme avait eu la clef de notre chambre par le responsable de l'hôtel
Encore plus dingue, ce sont des enfants qui étaient à côté de nous sur la plage, qui a renseigné que deux jeunes filles seules séjournaient dans tel endroit...
Il vous est déjà arrivé une histoire complètement dingue ? Avez-vous eu des soucis au Belize ou pas du tout ? Je connais pas mal de personnes qui ont eu des problèmes à la frontière (moi aussi, ils ne voulaient pas nous laissé quitter le pays car il y avait une taxe à payer et nous n'avions du coup plus la moindre carte de banque ni centime...).
Je vous raconte pas ça pour que vous soyez suspicieux des locaux lors d'un voyage. Simplement, le touriste est la proie facile par excellence (encore plus lorsqu'il s'agit de deux jeunes filles seules). Il faut juste rester sur ses gardes. Après, je ne sais pas trop comment j'aurais pu éviter cette arnaque ci ^^
Mexique fin janvier 2021
Salut a tous,
j'ouvre ce topic car j’espère partir au Mexique du 23 Janvier 2021 au 13 Février 2021. Meme si je sais que rien n'est sur pour le moment, je me prépare tout de même.
- Ma première question est au niveau du climat. Je trouve un peu de tout sur le net, je préfère donc demander a ceux qui l'ont vécu. Fin Janvier et début Février, quelles températures fait-il a Mexico, Oaxaca et Mérida ?
- Je vais prendre des vols internes, notamment avec Aero Mexico et Viva Aerobus. Ces compagnies sont-elles fiables ?
- Je vais rester 7 jours complets a Mexico (-1 jour pour aller a Teotihuacan), donc 6 jours pleins, ça suffit pour cette grande capitale ? Que me conseillez-vous de voir de pas trop touristique ?
- Trouve-t-on des Uber partout au Mexique, ou seulement a Mexico ?
- Quels marchés locaux pourriez-vous me conseiller a Oaxaca et Mérida ?
J'aurais surement d'autres question au fil du temps, mais je pense que c'est déjà pas mal😎
Merci :)

Roadtrip Black Hills - Yellowstone - Oregon
Hello,
Je pense avoir finaliser mon parcours 2021 et j'aimerai votre avis dessus.
Actuellement, départ le 06/10/2021 avec un retour au 30/10/2021 (Atterrissage le 31). On a essayé de caler un départ le plus tôt possible en Octobre et on ne peut faire mieux que ces dates. J'ai déjà 4 nuits réservées à Yellowstone sur les dates prévues. Pour le reste, rien n'est figé. Voyageant avec des enfants en bas âge, certaines étapes ont étés réduites en terme de kilomètres.
J1 (06/10) : Arrivée à Minneapolis à 13H - Nuit à Mankato. L'idée est d'avoir les vols sans escales et nous avons donc fait le choix de ne pas passer par Denver. Mankato n'est pas très loin de Minneapolis et cela permet de gagner 1H de route sur le lendemain.
J2: Mankato > Sioux Falls > Oacoma - Nuit à Oacoma Journée de route tranquille, rien de passionant.
J3: Oacoma > Badland NP - Nuit au Cedar pass Lodge
J4: Custer SP / Mt Rushmore - Nuit à Keystone
J5: Deadwood > Aladdin > Devil's tower > Hulett - Nuit à Hulett
J6: Little Big Horn BF - Nuit à Sheridan
J7: Bighorn canyon NRA > Cody (Pas de rodéo à cette période donc juste le musée et peut être Old trail town) - Nuit sur Cody
J8: Cooke city > Tower Roosevelt / Mammoth hot springs - Nuit sur Mammoth hot springs cabin
J9: Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone - Nuit sur Mammoth hot springs cabin (Pas le choix)
J10: Grand Prismatic / Madison / Norris - Nuit sur Old faithfull Lodges
J11: Old faithfull (West thumb?) - Nuit sur Old faithfull Lodges
J12: (West thumb?), passage par Grand Teton NP - Nuit à Jackson
J13: Crater of the Moon NM - Nuit à Hailey
J14: (Shoshone Falls?) Bruneau Sand Dunes SP - Nuit à Meridian
J15: Malheur Butte / John Day NM - Nuit à Mitchell
J16: John Day NM / Smith Rock SP - Nuit à Madras
J17: Portland - Nuit à Portland
J18: Astoria - Nuit Astoria
J19: Lake Quinault / Ruby Beach - Nuit à Forks
J20: Hoh Rain forest / La Push / Second Beach / Rialto Beach (+Trail?) - Nuit à Forks
J21: Neah Bay / Cape Flattery / Shi Shi Beach - Nuit à Lake Crescent
J22: Sol Duc Falls / Bainbridge Island - Nuit à Bainbridge Island
J23: Ferry jusqu'à Seattle - Seattle - Nuit à Seattle
J24: Seattle - Nuit à Seattle
J25: Retour
Qu'en pensez vous?
La partie côté Oregon vous semble t elle pertinente? J'ai l'impression de survoler et j'hésitais à modifier la fin en prenant le ferry dès le J22 et en supprimant une nuit à Seattle pour la mettre en Oregon.

Préparation pour 3 semaines au Canada en septembre-octobre
Bonjour,
Ma copine et moi projetons, si les conditions le permettre, de réaliser un road-trip de 3 semaines dans l'Ouest Canada entre Septembre et Octobre prochain.
Pour l'instant nous avons posés nos congés du 19 Sept au 11 Octobre. Le seul soucis c'est qu'on lit un peu tout et son contraire sur cette période. Entre "été indien" et "pluies abondantes, période défavorable" je ne sais pas trop quoi en penser.
Est-ce que certain d'entre vous ont fait ce voyage à cette période ? Faut il mieux avancer nos congés ? Ou faire les 2 premières semaines dans l'Ouest et la dernière semaine au Quebec ?
Merci pour vos retours et conseils !
Pierre
