I can only speak of the West Coast (California/Arizona/Nevada) where there's a wealth of stuff: Do a quick search and stacks of threads will appear: Las Vegas: Grand Canyon: Death Valley:Big Bear:Napa:Sedona:Van Nuys: Lake Havasu City the list is endless.

There are plenty of smaller places to drop into just for gas and a burger: Harris Ranch, Agua Dulce, Chiriaco Summit:

Yep, you could do all your 50 hours in and around the west coast and still leave space for another visit the year after.......

However: some of the altitudes involved might be a bit much for a C150 - your best bet would be a C172.

Where are you going to be based?

Beware the LA basin unless you have an IR as the Marine layer can spoil your day.........

Someone else will be along soon singing the praises of Florida, or a cross continent flight.

I guess that at 5 hours a day you won't get much time in for sight seeing...

Enjoy it: Flying in the US is a dream.

Hmmm. now you've got me thinking again.
