Western USA for two weeks
Higher authorities (both of them) have approved a two-week flying trip in April, starting and ending in LA. There'll be two IR pilots in an Arrow III, looking for scenery and interesting flying.
I've read (even contributed to) the threads on here about where to go in the California area, but we're looking to spread our wings a bit further, it being a two-week jolly. The aim is to fly something like 40 to 50 hours - precise duration not critical.
Take Big Bear, Monterey, Death Valley, Grand Canyon, Meteor Crater, Palm Springs, Santa Barbara, Sedona, and all points in between as read. Where else should we put on the "must see" list? Anywhere to avoid?
I've not been to Monument Valley and have heard good things about it. Any views?
Is Aspen a good idea?
