I would go up to Crater Lake. I love the area up around Redwood National Park.

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

5/26/19 9:13am

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

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

RC Vikings

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

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

Ha. Sorry man.

Valley of Fire, Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef

coolcats

5/26/19 9:28am

Old Route 66 hit all the small towns and a day at the Grand Canyon, at 4 corners

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.
