Martin, Bill Johnson was right. Get out of Southern California.

For an experience which you are not likely to find anywhere else in this world,
go to Canyon Country: Northern Arizona and Southern Utah. Do the State Park route
through Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, etc. In my opinion, the north
side of the Grand Canyon is more interesting, less touristed and better camping.
Try to pass through Death Valley on your way to/from LAX but the drive between is
long and boring but unlike Scotland in any way you can imagine. If you are lucky
and you fly to LAX during daylight, you will pass over this wondrous canyon
country.

Remember, unlike Scotland, villages are few, populations are small and distances
are large, so be prepared
