And here are the stops, which I think represent nice a mix of history and natural wonder. If you had the road to yourself, it would take 9.33 days of driving, Olson calculates, but in reality you'd need at least 2 to 3 months to make the journey.

Bryce Canyon National Park, UT
Craters of the Moon, ID
Yellowstone National Park, WY
Pikes Peak, CO
Carlsbad Caverns National Park, NM
The Alamo, TX

there's a website that I'll try to find that has some of the kookiest but interesting stuff all over the country and their locations, my wife and daughter use it all the time, some neat stuff

That looks like it would be a lot of fun. But also expensive.

Old arsenal in baton Rouge should be on there, especially since you are going through br anyway

It would make at least one stop in all 48 states in the contiguous U.S. That means no state is left out!
•Each stop would be at a National Natural Landmark, National Historic Site, National Park, or National Monument
He really missed a lot of the good sights by sticking to this plan of one stop in each state.
Pike's Peak
Mesa Verde
Grand Tetons

There isn't shite in terms on landmarks close to us.
Posted on 3/10/15 at 11:11 am to When in Rome
Bryce Canyon would make for a nice, quicker stop on a trip like this, but I do not see how it could be substituted for Zion National Park. I'd switch Bryce with Zion.

Jackson Square and the cathedral.....
Posted on 3/10/15 at 11:12 am to When in Rome

No, this skips BR. Damn shame.

I'd add Olympic and North Cascade N.Ps in Washington, Trinity Alps in California. Your route goes right by Trinity Alps. Mesa Verde in Co.
