Looking for advice for a road trip from Midwest to west coast (this is a long one)
Hi everyone,
So my boyfriend and I are currently living in Florida and when we leave the US (next year maybe later) we are planning to do a road trip on the west side of the country.
We have never done a road trip so we would love to have some feedback (we are enjoying the weekends at home to do some research about roadtripping): is it to short? Or do you have advices on things to not miss out? We like to hike (it will be good to walk with all the car time).
Day 1: Probably leaving Florida for either Rapid City or Denver (Denver would be because we could rent a car from Hertz and choose the SUV we want, don’t think it is worth the price tho). Stopping by Target or Walmart to buy all the supplies (or been even more prepped and order everything in advance and just do a pickup). Spend the night there.
Day 2: Black Hill mountains: Stops at Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse Memorials. Hike on Cathedral Spires trail. Go to Cody to spend the night.
Day 3 (thinking about making it a 2 days things): Go to Yellowstone. Stops at The fishing bridge museum, Chute tower, Mammoth Hot Springs, Norris Geyser Bassin museum, Canyon village, grand prismatic springs and Old faithful. Camping at west thumb.
Day 4: Go to Calter Bay village and the hidden falls in Grand Teton. Join Salt Lake City for the night.
Day 5: Go to the Arches national parc and camp there. Probably some hikes and stuffs for sun set.
Day 6: Enjoy a sun rise at the parc and comes hikes. Go to Monticello for the night.
Day 7: Ride through Monument Valley and reach the horseshoe bend.
Day 8: Anteloppe Canyon in the morning and join Zion national park.
Day 9: Visit Zion: angels landing, grafton, pipe spring monument.
Day 10: To the grand canyon: desert view watchtower, rim trail, mohave point. Sleep at Kingman.
Day 11: We got to the skywalk and then spend 1 night at Las Vegas.
Day 12: Go to Zabriskie Point, the Mesquite dunes and join Ridgecrest for the night.
Day 13: I still have to research on the trail to see the mathusalem tree
Day 14: Sequoia national park: do several trails there: the big tree, sent trail and others.
Day 15: Sequoia national park: Trail at Moro Rock and crescent meadow
Day 16: Kings Canyon: General Grant trail and other main points. Join Fresno for the night.
Day 17: Yosemite: Glacier Point and probably a trail, camping over there.

Days 19 - 20: Go to San Francisco and enjoy some city time.
Day 21: Drive to Fern Canyon, walk around and join Crescent City for the night.
Day 22: Walk around Samuel H Boardman State Park and drive to Crater Lake. Spend the night there.
Day 23: Enjoy a sun rise at Crater Lake, walk around. Go to the John Day Beds National Monument. Spend the night there.
