There is a huge difference between this and driving through
some of the most scenic parts of the US. ISTM that it is
perfectly possible to have a wonderful holiday in the area
without getting out of the car at all (except to eat and sleep).

I don't agree on the 'not getting out of the car at all' part g
but you are right.
I've never been to that corner of the continent, but spent several
wonderful holidays in Canada, driving thousands of kilometres.

The OP seems to be in Italy as his message-ID suggests, and
maybe the folks on the other side of the atlantic can't imagine
how immensely relaxing it is for us Europeans to drive on North
American highways, compared to the congested autostrade,
Autobahnen, motorways, autopistas... in Good Old Europe.

I live in "that corner of the continent" I have to say I prefer the Italian
Autostrada to the North American highways in California. Maybe it's just
the thrill of the unfamiliar.

be aware that places like Death Valley and Joshua
tree will be very, very hot ...in August.

True, although some tourists actually prefer visiting Death Valley in
the summer because they WANT to experience the extreme heat, as that's
part of what makes the place special. But you probably won't want to
wander far from your air-conditioned car in that brutally-hot
weather.

Yes I check but there are many camping in different forest places and maybe
is better to stay in one instead of other.

thanks

I'm a Ritz Carlton/Four Seasons girl myself. I hear outdoors there might be
dirt....So any outdoorsy people about that have camped at Yosemite? (Note,
I hear wonderful things about the Awhanee...)

reading your NG suggests I finally made a road trip:

Itinerario:
6000ml 08-01-2007 09-02-2007

What do you think?

I think you've done quite well but I hope that list isn't your route.
I urge you to consider NOT visiting
yellowstone 5d
gran teton 1d
canyonland arches moab 2d
Monument valley 1d
Page Powell Lake 1d
this trip as they add a great deal of travelling.

I wish to add that you're spending too little time in San Francisco
and suggest that you consider spending less time in some of the
places you're going in order to spend more time here.

You make that sound like a bad thing!

It isn't. Nor is it a good thing.

If you're there on a Monday, go to the bar at the back of the
Stratosphere at 20:00 for a Blues Jam that's a blast.
