and emotions ! Beginning with the majestic Monument Valley , Archers , Canyon Lands , Goblin SP , Bryce Canyon , Zion , Antelope Canyon , to the breathtakingly vast Grand Canyon .
We only felt sorry for one thing - that we couldn ' t stay there longer ! Undoubtedly , you could spend at least a week without getting bored in each of them ! Unfortunately , we did not have that much time , but thanks to the perfectly prepared road infrastructure , it was possible to get almost everywhere freely .
After these emotions , a bit tired of changing a place of accommodation ( our tent ) everyday , we went to take a rest in Las Vegas .
This visit had little to do with resting , except that we slept in a normal bed in an air-conditioned room ...

Be aware that California also has its downsides - unfortunately , it is the most expensive of all states considering everything , including fuel and accommodation .
This is related to one of the stories , a funny one actually but at the beginning of which , we were far from laughing . Right outside San Francisco , at the very end of the day , we somehow managed to find a place for a camping ; a public area , outside the city , away from the main route , marked on maps . me as a camping place - perfect for us ! We set up a camp and basically falling asleep , tired after an intense day , we were
