We have decided to stay on the west side of the US next summer and do the rockies and west coast loop. The Reynolds are planning to come out to the Grand Canyon and California in August, so it gives us a chance to catch up with them again.
as a basic timeline we are thinking about:
- may - vancouver island, leave canada (by may 10th), maybe alaska round trip cruise from seattle, washington state, seattle, oregon inland, bend, terrebonne, maybe inland to yellowstone
- june - colorado, denver, great sanddunes, mesa verde, canyon of the ancients,
- july - utah, monument valley, bryce canyon, zion, arizona,
- august - arizona, grand canyon north rim (4th), california, yosemite (7th), sequoia , santa barbara (14th)
- september - california, monterey, san francisco, napa valley
- october - oregon coast, washington, back up to canada for the winter (maybe)
I'm sure there will be lots of other places to visit along this circuit, and we may choose to leave Yellowstone until another spring when we head across the north of the US to the east coast, so nothing is set in stone except the dates specified. Open to suggestions of additional destinations, and if anyone else fancies meeting us anywhere along this timeline let us know.
Its only 5000 miles so quite a short year by recent standards....
