Road Trip from LA -> Atleast Carlsbad Caverns

Hi Everyone,

So i'm planning a road trip from LA to atleast Carlsbad Caverns (thats probably the furthest I will go as I only have a week of time off.) My gf and I want to basically see everything on the way there..and loop back and see as much on the way back as well.


Any suggestions? Cool touristy stuff..so far we have things like..


grand canyon
carlsbad caverns
meteor crater
petrified forest


Thanks in Advance!

 

The petrified forest is pretty awesome.


You guys should go to Roswell.


Maybe check out the continental divide for a photo op?

 

well there are a few things to see here in NM stop in Albuquerque and take the tram the the crest which is pretty cool, there is white sands on the way to carlsbad, there is choco canyon, tent rock, jemez hot springs, if it were summer could stop in anthony and go to wet n wild haha, there is alot here just cant think of much right now haha but hope that helps a little bit.

where in LA are you? my sister lives in westwood my gf and i drove out there from Albuquerque last march pretty nice dirve just didnt have time to stop anywhere.

 

funny enough i'm about 2 mins from westwood..over in santa monica/culver city area.

 

Thanks for the suggestions guys! i'll toss them up on google maps and attempt to plan something out!.
