You have 6 days to road trip from LA to SLC. Where to do you go?

LA to Vegas, stay there for 5 days, Vegas to St George, St George to Beaver, Beaver to Provo, Provo to SLC

vegas for 5 days? Lol, and do what?

Dissenter

Profit. Usually can recoup the cost of the whole trip by the time I'm done

Nikomedes

5/26/19 9:16am

a dive? You're doing Vegas wrong if you think it's a dive. If you're traveling on a tighter budget then I'd go check

vegas is a sleeze ball of a city. I've been there and see the 'sights'

Tell us where you're from so everyone can make fun of it

Your post was asking what we would do if we had 6 days to road trip from LA to SLC

Well, I've been pretty open to ideas, and haven't mocked any of them

Go to Elko then. It is a must see

Baron

5/26/19 9:31am

One night in Winnimucca, one night in Elko and another in Wells would kill three

RC Vikings

5/26/19 9:39am

Battle Mtn is a must see on that route 😁

acougfan

5/26/19 9:40am

Definitely. I should have included that

Baron

5/26/19 9:41am

Please tell us all what there is to do in Winnimucca 😂

Wingnut

5/26/19 9:41am

There is a large potato farm in Winnimucca and you could go see that

RC Vikings

5/26/19 9:47am

You and your wife or are you taking kids also?

RC Vikings

5/26/19 9:14am

No kids, just wife and I. Another option is fly to Phoenix and hit natl parks

Dissenter

5/26/19 9:19am

With just you and the wife I think what you are planning would be great

RC Vikings

5/26/19 9:37am

This is the much better option.

There are some cool national parks on the other side of CA up into Oregon

6 days is a ton of time I would keep going north and come through Oregon.

rad dawg

5/26/19 9:16am

Is eastern oregon worth the extra drive time though?

Dissenter

5/26/19 9:19am

The Columbia River Gorge scenic area with all the waterfalls

donnerstag

5/26/19 9:26am

Crater Lake is a great 1/2 day,

You have two viable options, both of which avoid Nevada.

Oregon Coast is almost a must, that's my wife's one thing she wants to see

Dissenter

5/26/19 9:20am

I guess you need to decide if you want driving every day to see something new

d-coug

5/26/19 9:25am

LA is not a great jumping off point for the Oregon Coast. SLC is closer in

Josef K

5/26/19 9:33am

Option 1 is a pretty good itinerary. I would come down through sun valley

cougfanz

5/26/19 9:23am

Oregon kills you time wise. I’d go up coast to SF, cut over to yosemite ride the

Josef K

5/26/19 9:20am

Stop by the Hurst Castle in San Simeon.

Ugh 6 days in the car with my wife sounds miserable.

cougfanz

5/26/19 9:21am

Dang. That’s a bummer.

5/26/19 9:22am

USMCdad

5/26/19 9:29am

If I'd never done it, I'd hike: 2 days rim-to-rim in GC, a day in Zion, a day

unctoothman

5/26/19 10:20am

Santa Barbara, Solvang, Hurst Castle, Monterey/Carmel, San Francisco, all along

Tarbo

5/26/19 10:28am

How in the world do you spend 6 days going any other way?

Lip Gallagher

5/26/19 12:32pm

Cut across CA to Reno, go through Arizona... idk

Dissenter

5/26/19 2:07pm

There are at least 3 routes that would be interesting

donnerstag

5/26/19 2:36pm

I'd go Hwy 1. It's really a drive everyone should do at least once.
