    Come to Canada instead :)

    Why would you leave America to go to America Jr.?

    Well we have more trees than we have McDonalds for starters..

    We have 20 different flavors of delicious Rice-A-Roni

    But you don't have M&M Meat shops or Tim Hortons.

    We have Tim Hortons. Not as good as Canadians think it is.

    Also, Marijuana is pretty much legal here.

    Are those places where Canadians sit around and discuss their long history of military victories?

    A great military does not necessarily make a good place for a road trip...just sayin'

    Come thru Memphis,TN for the bar-b-que and the blues. Beale Street is great for both.

    I'm gonna be boring and answer the OP's question...

    How about the Lewis & Clark trail? It's cross-country, scenic, historic, and you end up in the beautiful Pacific NW.

    Seriously....I agree with the poster above about the Pacific NW. In fact, the western side of the country has the most beautiful National Parks, and the NW is lovely and green. I love Chicago, where I live, but truthfully, if I was on a road trip, I'd try to include some awesome nature.

    I've made a couple of cross country trips from VA to WA and back. It all really depends on whether you want to take a northerly or southerly route. When I took the northern route, South Dakota really stands out in my mind. I know, it's not a state you'd normally think of as interesting, but the Badlands National Park is AMAZING. It's one of my top 3 all time favorite places I've been. And Mt. Rushmore is not far from there, which is another impressive landmark. The mountain passes between Montana and Idaho have some stunning scenery. And as others have said, the North West is pretty beautiful. If you make it out there, make sure to drive along the Columbia River Gorge; you will not be disappointed. The Oregon coast is also as awesome as others have said. Canon Beach was my favorite.

    When I took the southern route, I went down through CA, and Mt Shasta & Shasta Lake are gorgeous. I'd like to go back just to stay and see more than I did from the highway. Vegas is obviously a must see if you've never been before. And the Grand Canyon is only a few hours from there. Now the Grand Canyon is incredibly impressive, but personally I like the Badlands better. The Grand Canyon was a little too touristy for me, but I hear the North Rim is less so than the South Rim where I was. I also consider New Orleans a must-see, the culture and atmosphere there is awesome and I'll be going back there in the future.

    I will say from my experience, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa are nothing but corn fields (when seen from the interstate). And Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas are very flat and very brown lol.

    The best thing you can do is go to a AAA office and have them print you out a TripTik (it's free if you're a AAA member) They will also give you books on each state you're traveling through, and they have TONS of info on what to see, where to eat, hotels, etc.
