Touring suggestions around LA to Vegas area

[+mtrax]

A couple of us are visiting the US from Australia (for the second time) heading up to complete the ET highway as last year we did the Route 66.

Now are starting from LA and plan to tour around for a few weeks but interested if there are any suggestions for both Caching and tourist areas to visit.

 

I also plan to setup another event to meet up with some locals so if there are any caches in Vegas to help out with that it would be great, we have plenty of time as our trip is around April 2014.

 

So if you have any suggestions please shout out .

 

thanks

If you have plenty of time you might want to look at the planes trains and automobile series west of Barstow Ca.

is this series on dirt roads, and is it ok by 2WD?

yes on dirt roads, we did about half of it in our Nissan Pathfinder but all in 2 wheel drive

I did a car tour for an Australian geocacher a few years back. We stopped for a few caches along the way, but it was mostly tourist spots and sight-seeing. The loop I did in order (starting and ending at LAX)-

Venice Beach

Santa Monica Pier

Mulholland Highway (from 405 to 101)

Universal Studios Hollywood

Hollywood Sign overlook

Hollywood and Highland (Chinese Theatre, Kodak/Dolby Theatre, Walk of Fame, etc)

Capital Records Bldg

Drove west along Hollywood Blvd into Beverly Hills

Rodeo Drive

Santa Monica Blvd

 

Then back to LAX. I'm happy to play guide if you are interested and my schedule allows.
