wild west road trip

After an amazing two-day roller coaster in Las Vegas, we decided to rent a car to go explore the stunning wonders of Arizona. But not just any car - since in Vegas you can rent really nice cars at competitive prices, we decided to 'go big' and rent a Mustang convertible. :) Now, as for our itinerary... There are lots of amazing national parks, canyons and natural monuments relatively near Las Vegas - there is the Death Valley National Park, Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Valley of Fire State Park, Yosemite National Park, Sequoia National Park, Antelope Canyon, Lake Powell, Vermilion Cliffs National...

Budget As long as you keep your gambling under control, Las Vegas is a real travel bargain! It offers tons of free attractions and accommodation and food prices are pretty cheap as well. • Hotel prices are very competitive - you can often get great rooms for amazing prices.

From New York, we flew to San Francisco, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. San Francisco is known for its colorful (mainly Victorian and Modern) architecture, diverse culture, steep rolling hills, cable cars, mild climate, and its many major landmarks.
