road trip! suggestions?

hey all.. just grew a wild hair and want to plan to take a little road trip this summer while i am out of college. I am going out west (will be driving all the way out there since i cant rent a car ... not 21 yet..)ive been to yellowstone and glacier... but other than that.. no where out that way. i do want to go to vegas though and spend a night there. i know i cant gamble or anything (can i even play the slots?) but im sure theres more there than just gambling. i want to hit hoover dam and the grand canyon. where else should i go? btw.. im planing about 3.5 weeks. i just need to get out and live a little! being stuck at home working while im this young all summer sux!


thanks for the input guys/gals

Drop down to see the Grand Canyon maybe?

 

yeh i will def. be doing that

 

Oh damn lol sorry, I didn't read all the way

 

Zion and Brice Canyon.

 

Must go to Santa Monica peir and 3rd street province, lots of cool thinge to do and the beach is a minute away and the weather is the best. Another good place is pismo beach where you can hit the dunes and a great place to eat there is a small resturant called SPLASH. Those are my favorite places to visit.

 

What about the Meteor Crater that is east of Flagstaff? Went there as a kid, was pretty cool.

 

awesome thanks guys! ive heard brice and zion are beautiful places.


keep up the suggestions!

 

SWEET! looks pretty cool

 

Honestly, unless you pass by it dont go there. Really boring.

 

I dont know if your planning on going up north a little more but theres a lake called pinecrest about an hour from yosemite that ive gone to every summer and its the most beautiful place iv ever been. highly reccomend it. (great fishing too)

 

Nope you can't even play the slots until you are 21 in Nevada, trust me I work for the worlds largest slot manufacturer

 

all great ideas guys! im writing a list and planning what i will do (and afford)

sux cuz im great at playing the slots! (played on cruise in Caribbean) im also great at losing too...


so many places to see!

thansk guys!

 

If you make it up north you should go through Lake Tahoe you could even check out the start of the Rubicon trail.

 

i say if any way possible go to lake powell...... (even though all you can do is houseboat.... its the most beautiful place ive ever been)

 

awesome...thanks guys. im starting to plan the trip now that way i can figure where im gonna stop on the way out and how long im gonna stay at each spot.


thanks guys! if anyone can think of anything, feel free to share! it will be added to my list.


thanks everyone for the help!

 

I'd make a point of hitting up Moab and Arches National Park. That whole area looks amazing to me. Thats one of the places I wanna hit up when I do a road trip.

 

Bring your MTB if you come to Vegas. We can hit some single track or I can show you some downhill if that's your thing.


EDIT: I just saw you mentioned in the summer. Nevermind. Unless you like riding at night, that's when we ride during the summer months.

 

I thought about a trip for myself as well.

Moab, Utah
Grand Canyon
Arkansas (family)
Myrtle Beach
Virginia Beach

then back home (Boston)
6000 mile trip.

 

hell yeh. i dont mind night riding. a decent light is all that is needed really. but yes, the bikes are most def. coming along!
