My wife has a cousin here from Spain. The plans are:
Driving from LA to San Fran via Hwy 1.
San Fran to Yosemite
Yosemite through Death Valley to Las Vegas (they would down to 58/Bakersfield if Hwy 120 is closed)
Las Vegas to Grand Canyon to Bryce to Zion
Back to LA
Fly back to Spain
All in approx 10 days
