Undecided on the itinerary for a one-month summer road trip
Hi everyone,
We’re thinking of heading back to the US but we’re still debating the itinerary. We’d love to revisit New York, but after that...? We’ve already explored the East Coast without making it down to Florida. So we’re wondering if we should go there. New Orleans has been catching our eye, and Memphis with its blues-rock vibe is also really appealing. A road trip that would start on the East Coast and head inland/mid-country. Any suggestions?
Or... we’re even considering stretching all the way to the West Coast: - Passing through LA, which we’d ultimately skipped on our West Coast trip, but maybe it’s not the best time to go with all those wildfires that have devastated iconic spots... - Or heading north to Washington and/or Oregon states, or closer, Montana.
Anyway, I’d love to hear your thoughts on what kind of loop we could do in 4 weeks... Given that in 2023, we spent nearly 6 weeks in the West, covering San Francisco, Yosemite, Death Valley, Mammoth Lake, Monument Valley, Grand Canyon, Page and its surroundings, Arches, Canyonlands, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Zion, Bryce, and Las Vegas.
On that note, I have to give a big shout-out to Thibaut, aka ITAT, for his time and invaluable advice in planning that West Coast trip. Since then, I’ve really enjoyed taking the time to share tips about places I’ve visited! Speaking of which, don’t hesitate to PM me for West Coast advice! Otherwise, I’ll be sharing a recap of that trip in a travel journal—currently in Word—that I’ll post on the forum later. For those interested, I also made a video montage (with clickable chapters in the description) of those 5 weeks here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx8d4ommhv4. Just a heads-up: the Bodie videos aren’t mine (my GoPro died), and the grass was completely green when we passed through, unlike in the video.
Looking forward to your suggestions! !

Itinéraire d'un mois, étapes et temps de trajet dans l'Ouest américain
Bonjour,
Pour nos 30 ans nous avons décidé de partir 1 mois dans le grand ouest cet été. Nous voulions absolument faire le Yellowstone (rester là-bas entre 5 jours et une semaine) en plus des grands classiques : L.A, San fransisco, Grand canyon, Zion, Monument Valley, Death Valley, Page (lac Powell), Bryce Canyon, Yosemite, Sequoia, Canyonland, grand Teton, Jackson, Moab, Mammoth lakes.
Suite à cela j'ai écris à Utat qui m'a gentiment répondu et conseillé en me proposant un itinéraire que voici :
1. Arrivée San Francisco, nuit San Francisco 2. San Francisco, nuit San Francisco 3. Route pour Yosemite, nuit dans le parc ou El Portal 4. Yosemite, nuit Mammoth Lakes 5. Alabama Hills, Death Valley, nuit Furnace Creek 6. Death Valley, nuit Las Vegas 7. Valley of Fire, Zion, nuit Springdale 8. Zion, nuit Bryce 9. Bryce Canyon, nuit Bryce 10. Journée route, Salt Lake, nuit Jackson Hole 11. Grand Teton, nuit dans le parc de Yellowstone ou West Yellowstone 12. 13. 14. 15. Yellowstone, nuit dans le parc ou West Yellowstone 16. Journée route, Flaming Gorge et Red Canyon, nuit Vernal 17. Journée route, Arches, nuit Moab 18. Arches, nuit Moab 19. Canyonlands, nuit Moab 20. Monument Valley, nuit sur place ou Mexican Hat 21. Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Lake Powell, nuit Page 22. Grand Canyon South, nuit dans le parc 23. Grand Canyon, nuit Las Vegas 24. Journée route, nuit Three Rivers 25. Sequoia, nuit Three Rivers 26. Los Angeles, nuit Los Angeles 27. Los Angeles, nuit Los Angeles 28. Départ 29. Arrivée
Aujourd'hui nous nous posons la question de savoir : - Si oui ou non nous faisons Zion - Si oui ou non nous faisons la Death Valley - Si deux jours ne sont pas trop court à San Fransisco - Si 5 jours au Yellowstone ne sont pas trop court
L'idée étant de savoir s'il est possible d'optimiser le voyage ( faire sauter des étapes et/ou prendre un vol interne ou revoir le parcours en fonction des temps de trajet)
Seriez-vous en mesure de nous conseiller ? De par votre expérience je suis sur que oui ! 😉
D'avance merci pour votre temps.
