Hi,
We have 7 days spare, including our departure day at 10:30pm from LAX, to do a little road trip. We will have been with family who live in mid Michigan. We will have done some day trips with them from there. It will be the first week of October, so some fall colour hopefully happening. Before that we will have been in Yellowstone and Grand Tetons for a week.
Have to decide whether we do the Upper Peninsula ( Whitefish Point, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Tahquemenon Falls etc) or something else. We will have to backtrack from up there to Chicago or Detroit for a direct flight to LAX.
Otherwise I was thinking maybe we could fly to Sacramento, hire a car and look at Tahoe, Yosemite, Sierra Nevada places, Death Valley(?) , stay somewhere close - ish to LA the last night and drive to the airport the next day.
Or something else? We’ve been to much of the south west before.
Any advice and thoughts much appreciated.
