The USA west coast

On april 2008, we toured four US western states: California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona. While we spent only one day in Los Angeles, San Francisco or Las Vegas, we focused mostly on some very famous Parks:  Valley of fire, Zion, Bryce canyon, Lake Powell, Sequoia, Grand canyon and Monument valley to name a few.

When you realize that California alone is about the size of Sweden, it becomes obvious that crisscrossing four states within a couple of weeks implies a lot of time on the road! Nevertheless, we manage to get enough time to enjoy the fabulous parks.
