Hi!
I'm a European traveling to the west of the USA with my parents in a couple of days. We already have a list of things we want to do, but we're really curious if locals know of anything we simply cannot miss during our trip. The picture a uploaded is the route we're going to be taking.
Thanks in advance!

I'd suggest doing the north rim of Grand Canyon, I think it's prettier than the south, also a little cooler temperatures, but that's me.
I see you have bryce as stop "H", I would suggest that instead of going back to i15 north, keep going east on hwy 12 and drive through escalante national monument, crazy landscapes of flowing red rock, cartoon like roads strung along ridge tops. Not good if your driver is afraid of heights.
Capitol reef national park is pretty damn cool, right there at the north end of hwy 12 next to the town of Torrey. From there you would go north to I 70 and then west back to your original route. Adds a few days to the drive. tho, but it's a spectacular drive.
What is the "c" stop? It's not in quite the right place to be Yosemite, and it actually looks like your route is skipping Yosemite entirely? It's always crowded, but I feel that the tioga pass road is still one of the most beautiful streatches of road in that part of the country.
Are you camping or staying in hotels?

Thanks for your response! I will be suggesting your tips to my father. He has been nervous about the trip for weeks now, so I don't he'll be very keen op changing the route. But thanks anyway!
I checked and the C stop is a hotel at Mammoth Lakes. It seems like we are skipping Yosemite park and going through Stanislaus National Park instead.

Uh, there is no stanilaus national park. There's a Stanislaw national forest, which means no real visitor center and little improvements. it's still a really pretty part of the country tho. And will definitely be less crowded than Yosemite.
What's your father nervous about? Other than the temperature.
