[quote=Anonymous]If you aren’t big hikers you definitely should not do Angels Landing. I have done a ton of hiking but skipped it because it’s too dangerous and I hate crowds on a trail.

In 10 days, I did a great roadtrip of the 5 national parks in Utah- flew into Salt Lake City and out of Vegas. With your 4 extra days, you could add the Grand Canyon.

On another 10 day trip, I drove from San Diego to San Francisco. Along the way I did some amazing hikes in Yosemite and Big Sur.

In another 10 day trip, I split up my time among Seattle, Olympic NP, and Mt Ranier. Highly recommend it. North Cascades NP is in that area too, and with 4 extra days I’d have backpacked there. But since you aren’t that into hiking, I’d skip that and do Crater Lake instead. It’s a long drive from Seattle but stunning and there isn’t really much to do except see the lake, so you only need a day or two there. Then fly out of Portland.

I’ve also done a short roadtrip from San Diego to LA that took me through Joshua Tree. There are some other national parks in that area that you could include with more time. [/quote]
