Hi all
Before moving back to the UK I'd like to do a cross-country from Boston to San Francisco. The plan is to do this trip this coming April. I have two weeks to complete the journey.
The plan is to take a slightly southerly route and move on relatively quickly in the beginning to allow some time to do the classics in the Arizona / Utah area: Animas (00C), Cortez (KCEZ), Page (KPGA), Goulding Trading Point (N25)
Would appreciate some ideas on a good an interesting route to take to get to this area, taking into account 2 / 3 hour legs max, weather patterns in April, thanks not to miss en-route whether it is interesting airports, classic sites, great landscapes etc. And avoiding restrictive airspace.
Also what would be a sensible route from the Arizona / Utah area to San Fran, ideally avoiding the worst of the Rockies and all the airspace and MOA's in the area?
I won't have oxygen, all flying to be VFR and although I have done some big x-country flying, not so much in the US.
I'll ship the aircraft from CA so no need for a return journey.
Thanks
