Day 18 and 19: California here we come
...so yesterday we arrived in Los Angeles again. Nerve-wracking traffic around and in LA (worse than in Berlin) got to us so much that we just wanted to go to our hotel. So we...
Day 17: Grand Canyon and Route 66
Today we went from Williams to the Grand Canyon. Although or precisely because we were here two years ago, it was another highlight for us. I think there is little that is more...
Day 16: Arches National Park
Howdy Germany! Today we set the alarm for the first time. And of course, today is the day I could have slept longer. 😪 But since we saw yesterday how terribly long the line was...
Day 15: Dead Horse Point State Park and Canyonlands NP
The sun was shining, the sky was blue...it could only be a good day. And it was! 😊 Right now we are enjoying a good can of beer (I actually felt like it for once 😅) from the...
Day 13 and 14: Mount Rushmore in the fog, Custer State Park, a nightmare, and drive from Golden to Moab
With a 2-day delay, we continue with the travel report. Unfortunately, this should not be our day.🙁 First, we set off to Mount Rushmore. It was not far from Hill City. We...
Day 12: Devils Tower, Deadwood, and Hell...uhh...Hill City
The name was program today. At least when it comes to the weather and our sun-hungry mood. The reason we are even traveling to this special corner of America is Mount Rushmore,...
Day 10: Yellowstone NP, Norris Geyser Basin, Midway Geyser Basin, Lower Geyser Basin
The day started gloomy with cold and cloudy weather. Today we had a small program, the geysers basins that we haven't seen yet. We started with the Norris Geyser Basin. A...
Day 9: Yellowstone NP, West Thumb, Mud Volcano, Canyon Southrim
Today, we nearly completed the round course that resembles the number 8, which runs through the park. We still have a few 'hotspots' left to visit, but we will explore them...
Day 8: Yellowstone NP, Canyon, Mammoth Hot Springs, Lamar Valley, and Grizzly
Today we took a slightly longer drive to the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone NP. It was much colder today than yesterday, but we were amazed to see how much snow was still around...
Day 6: America the Beautiful - Grand Teton National Park
Today we visited the first national park on our trip. The Grand Teton NP in Wyoming. Named after the Teton Range mountain range. About 4200m high, it towers above the wide plain...
Day 5: Salt Lake City, Antelope Island, and Tatanka
Today we wanted to explore the downtown area of Salt Lake City. First, we drove to the Utah State Capitol, which is located on a hill in the north of the city. It is a...
Day 4: Valley of Fire and endless drive to Salt Lake City
First things first: The night ended early at 4:30 AM. But it was almost 7 AM by the time we got moving. Our first stop was the Valley of Fire, a state park about an hour's drive...
Day 3: Hoover Dam and Las Vegas
The time change was still affecting us: the night ended at 4 am! First, we made some coffee and had sandwiches that we bought yesterday for breakfast. Today, we planned to visit...
Tag 2: Las Vegas Baby
...that's how we felt yesterday when we fell into bed. Even though the night's rest was only short-lived (2 am), it helped. At 5 am, we headed to Denny's. Hearty food always...
Tag 1: Let's continue!
After a long, calm flight, we finally landed in Los Angeles. Compared to last time, the immigration process was easier and faster, as we can now scan our passport and...
Tag 1: Let's go!
As Willie Nelson once sang, 'On the road again. Just can't wait to get on the road again.' We didn't think it would only take 2 years until we're back on America's roads. But...
