This adventurous route offers breathtaking scenery paired with diverse landscapes. This is perhaps the most popular RV route in the U.S.
Starting point is San Francisco, the City by the Bay. From there, you drive down the famous Highway No. 1 to Los Angeles. Then, your journey will take you across State borders to Las Vegas. Continue your route to visit some of the most beautiful national parks: Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion, Death Valley (not allowed during the summer months), and Yosemite. Once you have spent the desired time visiting these sights, you will make your way back to San Francisco.
Our Recommendation:
After your arrival, spend about 3-4 nights in San Francisco before picking up your motorhome. Staying in a centrally located hotel will give you the opportunity to have a couple of days to explore the city by foot or by Cable Car.
Always enter the desired minimum mileage. The display will then only show you the offers that have the desired mileage included. Booking a motorhome without any mileage is not recommended. In this case, the rental company will charge you for the miles driven when you return the vehicle. This can lead to very high additional costs.
This exciting and impressive route will lead you through destinations like Arizona, California, Nevada and Utah

Our Recommendation:
You can stop in Las Vegas on your way from Zion National Park to Death Valley. If you do not want to pass Las Vegas twice, you can certainly drive to the Grand Canyon via Lake Havasu.
This is possibly the most famous canyon in the world. The Grand Canyon is simply stunning with its incredible depth and red rock formation. Travel along the South Rim and take in spectacular views from any of the observation points. From Las Vegas, you will have the opportunity to drive along parts of the famous Route 66.
Bryce Canyon is known for its colorful, spire shaped rock formations. Hike along the Navajo or Queens Garden Trail to experience the beauty of this wondrous terrain.
The Red Rocks, combined with the iridescent waters of the Emerald Pools, and the luscious green of the trees and bushes, make for a beautiful natural color display.
Our Recommendation:
If you still have some time, you should drive through Page at Lake Powell and stay for about 2 nights. From here you can schedule a tour to visit Antelope Canyon. Plan a stop to take in the incredible view of Horseshoe Bend.
During the summer months, temperatures can reach up 50C. Due to the scorching heat, driving a motorhome through Death Valley in the summer is not allowed. Very little life can exist in this extreme dessert environment that is surrounded by mountains.
Our Recommendation:
If you would like to take in more of the western landscape, simply plan an additional 2 day stay at Sequoia national park in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. Here you will find the world’s greatest concentration of giant sequoia groves.
After driving through Death Valley, you can easily imagine how happy the settlers must have felt when they finally passed the harsh mountain terrain, and looked upon the beautiful scenery of the Yosemite with its waterfalls, luscious alpine meadows, creeks and towering trees.
