San Francisco 2 nights, 1 night in the middle of Highway 1, Los Angeles (not playing) 1 night, Las Vegas (not playing, outlets within 100 kilometers of Las Vegas are definitely worth it, half a day of shopping) 1 night, Salt Lake City 1 night, West Yellowstone 4 nights (saving money and easy to book rooms, the downside is that there is a lot of driving in and out, if you have money, you can stay in West Yellowstone for 2 nights, Yellowstone Canyon for 1 night, and Yellowstone West Thumb for 1 night), Grand Teton (stay in Jackson for 2 nights), Provo 1 night (not playing at the passing point), Moab 1 night (Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park), passing through Round Top, Highway 12 scenic route, Bryce 1 night, Page 1 night (Horseshoe Bend must be visited before noon, Antelope Canyon requires advance ticket purchase half a day), Monument Valley 1 night (optional, if you go, you must arrive before sunset, accommodation is tight and needs to be booked half a year in advance, similar to accommodation in Yellowstone, if you stay here and only visit Horseshoe Bend without visiting Antelope Canyon, you can skip staying in Page), Grand Canyon 1 night (you can take the 66 highway up and down), Las Vegas 2 nights (spend half a day shopping at the North Outlets), Los Angeles 1 night (can only see Hollywood in Highland City, or simply stroll along Hollywood Boulevard), 1 night in the middle of Highway 1, 1 night in San Francisco (or don't stay and take a red-eye flight). Nearly 7000 kilometers, it is recommended to rent a Dodge or a large MPV, 4 people, 3 28-inch suitcases and 1 24-inch suitcase are no problem, absolutely do not skimp on renting a small car, the savings from shopping at the outlets are enough to offset the cost.

I would like to drive to Yellowstone for 6 days in mid-June. On the first day, I plan to drive from Salt Lake City to Yellowstone, and I want to visit Grand Teton National Park on the way and stay outside Yellowstone at night. Question 1: Do you have any recommendations for hotels and restaurants outside Yellowstone? I have no preference for the taste. On the second day, I will enter Yellowstone National Park in the morning and drive for 5 days inside the park. Question 2: How should I plan the route to make it more suitable, hoping to visit all the attractions? Question 3: Can you recommend suitable hotels based on the route without too much backtracking? My budget is 500-1000 RMB per day, and I can accept 2000 RMB if necessary. Question 4: How can I solve the dining problem inside the park? Any recommended restaurants along the way? This is my first time traveling so far from home, so I have quite a few questions. I hope friends who have been there can help me. Thank you very much ? United States Q&A

The United States is very large, and every time you go somewhere it's different. This summer, I went to Yellowstone and chose an SUV, but I regretted it because the high center of gravity made it tilt heavily on the mountain roads... and all the roads were paved, so if you don't have a need for a lot of luggage, don't choose an SUV. Last year, I rented a BMW 4 Series to drive around the Grand Canyon area and it felt great. I stayed in Yellowstone for 5 days, 2 days at Old Faithful, 2 days at Canyon, and 1 day at Yellowstone Lake. The itinerary was not tight, so I just played around and drove all the roads in Yellowstone. Accommodation in Yellowstone is expensive, and the itinerary was not optimized, but the gas prices were cheaper than in the Bay Area. As for cash and credit cards, to be honest, I haven't used much cash in recent years. I only keep cash for tips. Throughout the trip, I only used cash once at a strange restaurant in Salt Lake City for one night, and also used cash to send postcards at the Yellowstone post office. Everything else was done with credit cards, including self-service gas and meals. It was surprising to find out at a gas station in Carson City that they explicitly did not accept VISA credit cards and had to use a MasterCard. I remembered trying credit cards at gas stations in Utah and San Diego last year, and this year's experience was really different, as many gas stations have upgraded ? United States Q&A

Suggestion: No need to rent ezpass. This time from Boston to White Mountain National Park, I encountered two tolls on the way back and forth. Slow down close to the highway and go through the toll booth with a cash sign. There are people guarding there, and you can pay 1 US dollar each time ? United States Q&A
