One of the (if not THE) most beautiful and epic road trip on earth is through the Southwest of the US and California. It sure was for us! That being said, you could easily spend three months covering both areas and still not have seen it all. We will, of course, let you in on our experience, which was a 15-day road trip, and tell you how you could shorten or lengthen that trip.
In this article, let us be your friends, while we share with you our top 5 experiences that stuck with us from our Southwest and California campervan road trip. Believe me, we will go beyond the anticipated 'highlights' like the Antelope Canyon, Grand Canyon, Big Sur, etc.. Instead we will take you to our hidden gem highlights we had no clue or expectation of before.
