Would love input on a trip my wife and I are planning. We live in the DFW area and this will be our first real road trip in decades - air travel has finally beaten me down.
We love to hike and explore the outdoors, especially in national parks. Here’s our preliminary itinerary. If you have experience or recommendations for any of our stops (lodging, restaurants, things to do, etc.), or would suggest additional stops, please chime in!
Day 1 DFW to Amarillo - 1/2 day hike in Palo Duro Canyon (never been there)
Day 2 Amarillo to Santa Fe - 2 or 3 nights in Santa Fe, but we’re not sure how to spend our time there. Considering La Fonda on the Square as lodging.
Day 4 Santa Fe to Moab - 2 or 3 nights, primarily hiking Arches during the days. Considering Hyatt Place as lodging.
Day 6 Moab to Grand Canyon - 2-3 nights, probably south rim because of lodging options. Considering Maswik Lodge (only one in the park that’s available).
Day 8 Grand Canyon to Albuquerque - primarily just a stop on the way home, but suggestions are welcome.
Day 9 Albuquerque to home.
Thanks in advance for your input!
