PRACTICALITIES
TransportWe rented a car for the entire trip without any inconveniences.
Accomodation
We tried to camp every day in our tent. Only in the big cities (San Francisco and Los Angeles) we spent the night in a motel. There's plenty of cheap camping spots inside the national parks. Outside they might be a bit more expensive.
