No, we don’t mean that there’s no shortage of toiler paper in SoCal wherever you go. In fact, we’re not talking about toilet paper at all, but tepees. But we’re not asking you to pack your tent either, and set out on a nomadic camping journey throughout the country. Read on to discover the closest you’ll come to camping (or experiencing the Native American tradition) without leaving your hotel room on the famed Route 66.
Below you will find a suggested three-day itinerary spanning the areas of San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino. We’ll tell you what to see and what to avoid–although the quite-not-what-you-expected could lead to just as much fun. How else would you know that the Hollywood sign is not lit at night? So if your goal, atop the Griffith Observatory, is to see the iconic sign, you may be better off driving past a Hollywood Video rental store after dark.
