Version 1: Week Trip

Here's my proposal for a 1-week Mojave desert road trip. We get to see two places I haven't been, Zion National Park and the Grand Canyon, and a couple I have. We should be back in Southern California with an extra day or two before the project hand-off in Irvine.

  1. August 13: Arrive in Utah.
  2. August 15: Drive to Las Vegas (2.5 hour drive)
  3. August 17: Drive toward Fort Mojave
    • Pass Hoover Dam on the way
    • Pass Grand Canyon (1.5 hour into drive)
  4. August 17/18: Fort Mojave. Spend a day or two in the desert.
  5. August 20 (Sunday): Drive to CA
