This trip to West Coast and the National Parks of the United States in 25 days led us to schedule a route in which we met 3 of the best known cities in the country and most of the National Parks of the United States.
We leave from Barcelona with a flight to San Francisco where we picked up a car and after spending the first night we headed to the first of the National Parks of the United States we met: Yellowstone.
Here we spent four days before getting back on our way to the Grand Teton on our way to Salt Lake City where we spent the night.
On the seventh day of the trip we went to the third of the National Parks of the United States that we met, Arches.
From here we continue with our rental car to Dead Horse Point, Canyonlands, Monument Valley to end that same day in Mexican Hat where we stayed.
On the ninth day of our trip we arrived at Antelope Canyon, one of the most special places of this trip, to go later to another of the National Parks of the United States, Bryce Canyon.
After this visit we went to Zion from where we started the road to the Grand Canyon, where we enjoyed not only one of the best-known National Parks in the United States, but also a helicopter overflight.
From here we leave for Las Vegas where we spend a couple of days relaxing from the kilometers we already had behind us.
From Las Vegas we move to Death Valley, the most extreme of the National Parks of the United States where we enjoy landscapes from another planet.
From here we went to Yosemite, where we enjoyed a couple of days to get to know the park before leaving for San Francisco, where we spent the next 3 days.
After this visit to the city, we return to take the rental car to tour the Big Sur and reach Los Angeles, the city in which we spent the last two days of our trip to the West Coast and the National Parks of the United States .
