US road trip photography locations?

[Matt..]

I am planning on going to the US in May next year to do a ~3 week roadtrip. Where would you suggest going? I am a landscape photographer primarily.

These are the places i've been to already:
Cities: NYC, Boston, LA, LV, SF, SLC, Santa Barbara
Parks: Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Capital Reef, Grand Escalante, Bryce Canyon, Zion, Valley of Fire, Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Devils Postpile, Yosemite
Other: Pacific coast highway

Locations are always so hard to pick!

Check out this site for some light hearted 'tourist attactions' which might be worth a picture or two

I am not into touristy stuff . I am more after amazing landscapes and possibly interesting cities.

You seem to have been to most of the obvious places already but not Antelope Canyon

Go to the:

Natural bridges monument
Moki Dugway
Goosenecks overlook

All in Utah. west of the four corners monument which is also pretty nice to go and visit.

Moki dugway was amazing. drop 1100ft or so over a mile.

That doesnt even do it justice imo.

Also make sure you visit monument valley

Others to consider:

Sequoia (biggest trees by mass) and Kings Canyon NPs are wonderful - Southern Sierra Nevada mtns, Calif
The Redwoods (talles trees) in Northern California and Southern Oregon.
The Cascades in Washington and Oregon
Oregon coast is lovely
Big Bend NP, Texas
Anza Borrega, Southern California
I like the Mojave Desert and in particular, Kelso Sand Dunes, which is epic.
Nevada in general - Basin and range geology is epic (there are 300 mountain ranges in Nevada and it is largely deserted)
White Sands in New Mexico

Basically pretty much anywhere west of Denver, down to the borders and beyond and you'll come across wonderful wild country, amazing geology and great diners.

I love the American west.

You need this Beano for this one.

He toured the US with a D2X and came back with arms like Arnie Schwarzeneger

I'm amazed more people don't make the effort to visit Lake Powell (Rainbow Bridge) and Monument Valley that's probably my favourite part of that part of the world.

Bonneville Salt Flats for Speed Week - extraordinary, especially at dawn and dusk.

Loads of shots from my various visits over the years on my website www.fluidimages.co.uk

Plenty of beautiful landscapes and coastline north of Boston up into Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire.

I'm currently sat in lax airport waiting for my flight home. We have just done LA and Vegas, but drove between them and found some fantastic places, on the drive from la to Vegas, pull off at Victorville and take the historic route 66 to Barstow, some lovely looking old rickety bridges near the museum and then head through to calico ghost town, nice flat sand with the hills behind.

We also drove to the grand canyon via Hoover dam and there is some fantastic views of lake mead just before the dam and the canyon is just amazing

You haven't driven through the Rocky Mountains?

Just make sure you go between May and early September...
