Trip Ideas.


Grand Canyon

Main campsite

  • Time from Phoenix: 4 hours
  • Fee: Free

Backup campsite

Joshua Tree National Forest

Would like to go here but not sure where to go and what to do.

Northern AZ / Southern Utah

This place is beautiful, tons of places to check out:

  • Bryce Canyon
  • Valley of the Gods
  • Zion National Park
  • Kanab
    • Belly of the Dragon
    • Diana's Thrown Slot Canyon
    • Wire Pass to Buckskin Gulch

Here is a Central campsite however I'd prefer to find a campsite near each place and just make a bigger trip out of it.

Sequoia National Forest, CA

Home of the big trees. I believe there is a fee to get into the Sequoia National Park.

Campsite options (might need more research)

These campsites are free, but that are closer to kings canyon national park, which is north of Sequoia, aka might not be the best trees. Still some tree, just not the biggest in that area.
