I highly recommend Death Valley, there are some excellent things to see
there and its easy to spend a couple days there and still not have quite
enough time.
Apparently this year has been very good for them in terms of rainfall so
there are a lot of unusual desert flowers out that only show up less
than once a decade.
In fact I enjoyed Death Valley when I was there earlier this year much
more than the South Rim of GC. There was more to do, more to see, and
more to photograph :).
Good luck!
Greg

At this time of the year, I'd go from San Diego straight to Las Vegas
(perhaps
via Joshua Tree N.P.), then up into Utah, incl. North Rim of Grand
Canyon.
I'd stick to higher elevations, like in Zion, Bryce Canyon and Cedar
Breaks.
(The deserts are now rather bleak looking). Then I'd marathon drive
west to
Mono Lake and Tioga Pass (Yosemite). Don't overlook Bodie (north of
Mono
Lake) for fine ghost town photography).
I'll gladly give up my attempts of Lake Havasu/London Bridge
photography!
Call while in Vegas.
