Joshua Tree is off the table and we'll probably go straight from L.A. to Vegas and skip the Flagstaff region entirely. We could make LV our headquarters to go to Zion on one day and Grand Canyon on another before moving on to Yosemite.
Snow and heavy rain hopefully won't be a problem in late August
View original postTrip 2) Drive east of LA up to Las Vegas. Hang for a day. Drive east up to Zion (I high recommend this....Zion is gorgeous). Drive south to Grand Canyon. Beautiful. Skip Lake Havasu because you aren't a 22yr old trying to loose their virginity while puking melon balls out your nose. Continue around, skipping Joshua Tree again (see reasons above). Drive down to San Diego (a beautiful city...unlike LA). You can go to the best Zoo in the world, Balboa park, go out to Coronado if you want. If you feel like a horrible adventure, go to TJ (you might die...like actually die. Drug wars aren't fun). You then drive north through North San Diego county, Orange County, and then up to LA County.
Havasu was just a randomly picked landmark halfway there, but good to know!
San Diego sounds lovely but we have to stop somewhere!
View original postI need to go on a trip now. I seriously wouldn't mind going up to Zion.
Thank you! Have fun

Tijuana is not that dangerous these days, particularly for foreigners in the drinking area.

Who the Hell would fuck anything in TJ? Where was that implied in what I wrote?
