Well, since you`ve traveled in the US a lot already, I imagine you understand the distances. I wasn`t sure before your last post. We met a Belgian woman a few years ago in Death Valley NP who had a CRAZY schedule for her trip. She was a profesional photographer who had driven from San Francisco to Yosemite and planned to drive her rental car from there to Grand Canyon, then to the national parks in Utah and back to San Francisco again within a two week trip. That`s probably around 2000 miles of driving- she just didn`t realize that the parks were so big and so far apart because she was accustomed to maps of European countires. Anyway, it doesn`t sound like you`ll run into that issue.
