Me (17) am taking a road trip with either my mom or some friends (still being decided) and would like to know where I should stop along the way there. I have the choice of going through L.A. and then up to SF or alternatively, just shoot straight across to SF. Also this will be my first road trip with friends so any precautions I may need to take would be nice to know as well! Thanks :D I will be travelling at the end of June, budget is no problem, and it seems that Zion Nat Park is beautiful. That is really the only place I have researched.
