An all-American road trip is on most people’s travel bucket list - and now you can tick off some of the USA’s most iconic locations thanks to a new route from Manchester Airport . In June Virgin Atlantic will launch its direct service to Las Vegas from the northern travel hub.
The Grand Canyon 277 miles long and more than a mile deep, the Grand Canyon in Arizona is one of the great natural wonders of the world – and only a two-hour drive from Las Vegas, making it a great starting point for a West Coast road trip. The Colorado River has eroded the canyon over the course of the last six million years, exposing over two billion years of the Earth’s geological history. The Grand Canyon sits at the heart of a National Park, brimming with great hikes and outdoor activities.
Sequoia National Forest Just over a hundred miles the other side of Death Valley, you’ll hit the breathtaking Sequoia National Forest, filled with Giant Sequoias - the largest tree on Earth. The tallest specimen in the forest, General Sherman, is 275ft tall and thought to be between 2,500 and 3,000 years old.
As you leave LA behind, you’ll pass through plush beachfront neighbourhoods like Malibu and Santa Barbara, the adoptive home of Harry and Meghan, before reaching ‘Big Sur’, a 100-mile stretch of wild and uninhabited mountain ranges that has been designated a State Park. Parts of the highway in this area are literally cut into cliff-faces overhanging the sea, offering dramatic views.
