I haven’t been to almost half of these places. Now i’m determined to change that!

I would also add Portland/Seatttle to the list, stopping at Mt. Saint Hellan Haystack Rock and the Goonies house along the way.

8/10 visited! The Outer Banks and Daytona Beach are next on my list. All of those places are pretty sweet, but I’m going to have to say Niagra Falls is one of my favorites.

Just a quick note to thank you for placing Mount Rushmore on your road trip list! There are many different routes travelers can take across South Dakota to get to Mount Rushmore and our office encourages them to check out what is on the beaten path and experience what else there is to see and do in South Dakota while they are on their way to “see the boys”. For more information, visit http://www.TravelSD.com. Thank you again, Emily from the South Dakota Office of Tourism

You must put the Outer Banks of NC (or OBX)on your list for road trips. It is centrally located on the east coast and within a reasonable driving distance from many states. We are a family oriented beach with 100 plus miles of beautiful, public beaches from Carova to Ocracoke. There are many historical sites (Wright Bros. Memorial, The Lost Colony,etc), lighthouses, fishing, nature in it’s finest. We don’t have high rises, just a few nightspots, fantastic restaurants, and unique local art and shopping.

If I had to vote for the #1 place to road trip to, that would be Lake Powell. But the Grand Canyon would be a close second. My daughter and I are planning a trip to the Grand Canyon this summer. Word of caution: if you are going to Grand Canyon West, where the Skywalk is, be prepared. It’s costly. We paid $85 each which covered the skywalk, the bus ride to the skywalk, a small lunch and something else.

Since you mentioned Niagra Falls, I wanted to also add New England. Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont, Upstate New York, Conneticut – that whole area is such a lovely place for a road trip. Winding mountain roads, beautiful trees arched over the roads, beaches always close-by, amazing 20th century architecture and rolling estates. I love this area and highly recommend New England to your list of the best road trips.

This post would be 10 times better if you have PICTURES of the places.

I’ve been to five of these places: Yellowstone, Mr. Rushmore, Disneyland/World, San Diego, and right by the Grand Canyon.

Yellowstone was my favorite – we went snowmobiling on the road there and drove right by huge bison (within 5-10 feet at times) – now that’s a rush.
