Must see places in the U.S.??

[Jennifer5]

My sister and I are planning a fantasy road trip. Well, for now it is a fantasy, we hope to make it reality. I thought I should ask though, what are some place in the U.S. that you think every person should see??

[Gennee]

Wow, Jen. There's a lot places. I would recommend New York City, San Diego, and Washington, DC for starters.

Thank you I've been to NYC and San Diego; Washington D.C. is on the list.

Niagara Falls. I often forget what that's like for someone who hasn't grown up a half hour away from it.

[Gennee]

Denver and Montreal are nice cities also.

Horseshoe Curve and Altoona, Gallitzin, and Cresson, Pennsylvania.

Boston and Cape Cod National Seashore in Massachusetts

Monticello (Thomas Jefferson's house). I live about 30 minutes away from it and went there when my folks came to visit. It's awesome.

Devil's Tower in Wyoming.(Especially if you are a sci-fi fan)

Civil War battlefields. Not just the big ones like Gettysburg but smaller ones like what is left of the battlefield at Franklin Tenn.( A huge bloodbath of a battle that isn't as well know because it didnt involve Grant or Lee)

Galveston Island

New Orleans

A state fair( any of them). For some kettle corn, funnel cake, and a look at young farm kids showing their animals.

Skyline Drive on the BlueRidge Parkway. (Along with the Appalachian Trail)

Definitely Grand Canyon. Vegas would be fun and not too far from GC. So many places in Cali - we have the most diverse landscape in the country I think. Bodega Bay for birding, north coast for scenery. South coast for weather and gorgeous beaches. Tahoe is beautiful (I prefer summer there to winter). Yosemite is a must, and Sequoia Nat'l Park. Also Mono Lake, Mammoth and Devils Postpile is fun. Los Angeles - Hollywood you would enjoy, especially the observatory/planetarium at Griffith Park. San Diego is beautiful, visit The Palace (Cajun restaurant) in beautiful Santa Barbara. The Sacramento capitol is awesome (and very historical). I also enjoyed Birmingham, but didn't care much for Milwaukee - so if you skip that town you probably won't miss much.

Got stuck in a traffic jam in Altoona.

Grand canyon is quite a must on a road trip through the US I think. One of those world´s wonderful wonders.

A drive down the Pacific Coast Highway from San Fran to LA area is terrific.

An overnight stop at San Luis O'Bispo and a stay at the Madonna Inn was a highlight for me.

I would love to drive on Pacific Coast Highway.

It has been a LONG time since I have been here.

I definitely would recommend Cape Cod, specifically Provincetown; New Orleans, LA; Atlanta, GA; Charleston, SC; the Outer Banks of NC.......

I love travelling.

San Fran. is the best place in the world, hands down. It was soooo lovely

[Jennifer5]

These are all places I'd love to see someday.

San Francisco is now in my backyard, but I haven't spent any time in the city in the last year or so.

There are so many places - Key West being one as the southern tip. Mount Rushmore is another. Yellowstone yet another and San Francisco another. I love Northern Michigan myself but it will not be for everyone.
