Highway No.1 San Francisco Yosemite Death Valley Las Vegas Zion Bryce Canyon Capitol Reef Arches Mesa Verde Monument Valley Antelope Canyon Grand Canyon Route 66 Joshua Tree Los Angeles
Many trips through the Southwest go clockwise, that means from San Francisco to Los Angeles. We deliberately chose the opposite direction, anticlockwise, because on the one hand Los Angeles is cheaper than San Francisco concerning the accommodation after the arrival and before the departure, on the other hand the Tioga Pass as access road to the Yosemite NP was problably not to be crossed at the beginning of our trip.
All in all we drove 3.462 miles or 5.540 kilometers. Here we have to add that according to our experiences the driving distances in the parks and cities amount to 10-20% of the total kilometers.

We needed 344 gallons or 1.300 liters of gasoline at an average consumption of approx. 23,5 liters per 100 kilometers. Thatīs pretty good for a vehicle of that size, but more about it in our further report.
