We have toured the west cost extensively - so much to see and do. If you're in LA do try to fit in a a day at Universal Studios for example. Not a big fan of central LA and San Diego, but the Californian coast and country with lots of small towns are worth exploring all the way to San Francisco, especially along Highway 1.
Personally i like the states of Oregon and Washington best for their rugged beauty. You can fly to / from Seattle or Vancouver if you want to do your own Grand Tour. Do plan in advance the key places / sights that you want to visit as distances are vast.....

We're thinking of doing this in 2020, fly to Seattle and drive down to Las Vegas to fly home from. Take in the coast and go inland for some of the national parks. I will watch this thread.

Personally I would do Vancouver rather than Seattle, take in the Coastal mountains and then drive in-land through Interior BC, which is all stunning. But as a keen skier I'm very biased! Seattle and Washington looks pretty good too. Wasn't that keen on LA or Vegas, but those are quite different to the natural stuff.

Yes, LA or Vegas would just serve as a transport hub to fly back home.
Apparently the North Pacific coast is rather stunning.

We once drove to a town called Manchester on Highway 1 north of SF. Miles of empty beaches...fantastic.

Previous: Cayenne SD then Cayenne S
Not quite a road trip in the true sense but we did Vegas - Mesquite - Zion Park - Monument Valley - Cameron Trading Post (warning “dry” reservation restaurant) - Grand Canyon - Hoover Dam - Vegas.
Two overnights (Mesquite the night we landed and Cameron) so quite alot of driving but spectacular sights.
Apologies for not responding during the input. One of those weeks!
We think we’re minded to look toward roads less travelled whilst fitting in just a limited number box tickers. What these end up being is work in progress. We do definitely though fancy the northern end so Portland looks strong as a starter.
We’ll be looking at the rest as time goes on.
Having done a number of road trips to New England and one to Virginia we’re big fans of US B&Bs and Inns as a friendly way to stay so will certainly looking at that again.
Funnily enough we've just booked flights to Seattle next summer with the intention of going to Yellowstone and Mt Rushmore with a possible side trip to Vancouver so without wanting to hijack this thread would be grateful for any more suggestions in that neck off the woods.
