Southwest USA National Parks Tour, Day 19: This hike was part of a month long tour in the Southwest USA National Parks and National Preserves. The tour included traveling in California, Arizona, Utah and Nevada National Parks and National preserves including Mojave desert and Mount Whitney.
This tour started from Santa Monica, Los Angeles, California.
I drove east on Rout 66 to the Joshua Tree National Park and Mojave Desert Preserve and then to the Grand Canyon.
From the Grand Canyon, I continued to the Zion National Park. A one day resting stop in Las Vegas, and then I continued driving to Mount Whitney via Death Valley.
