Hey,

I know this has nothing to do with MFP, but as there are sooo many people on here from all over the world and all really friendly and helpful, I thought what better place to ask!

Looking for some nice chitchat, helpful hints/tips, places to see by the people who would know the South West of America best!!

My partner and I are planning a road trip around the South West of America in Feb, and wondered if anyone had any tips/places to visit/places to avoid in Feb/Snow?! etc etc..

We have a rough route planned out, but this will be quite big for us, and want to make the most of seeing some amazing places!

Any info would be great! =)

    What kindof stuff do you like to do? Outdoorsy active? Or a classic roadtrip? History, scenery, Hollywood, Vegas?

    Hey,

    Thanks for the replies, Sorry for the delay in replying to you all, havent been able to get to the forums over the last couple of days.

    We are looking at going to Yosemite National Park, Grand Canyon, Las Vegas etc.
    We are flying into LA, and thinking about driving up through the national parks to Yosemite so we may have some snowy weather, then down around to the Grand canyon and Arizona Desert, going to Antelope Canyon and over to Las Vegas.
    Anywhere in between that may be worth seeing would be great to know. We are also unsure what sort of thing we shall be able to see if the snow is still bad at the time?

    I should add we are both photographers, and are taking all our gear with us to get some amazing photos =)

    =)
