Would it be a better idea to take the Grand Canyon and petrified forest here in August and then fly into LA in january and rent and return from there?
To avoid the high elevation an snow?
Or do I have a complete wrong picture of the coast line?
Yes that would be a better plan. Having lived all my life here, I can tell you that the time frame you suggest it will be cool and maybe a little wet in the southern half of the state but very do able as long as you are south of San Francisco, north from there it is all called the wet coast...
The southern half from the Mexican border to about the Central coast is a more temperate zone for that time of year. San Diego and the inland areas are always a bit warmer. I do this all the time.
As suggested a rental from
El Monte RV would be a good choice they have some very nice deals in the winter. You can also purchase a RV there too, their prices and service are top notch.
