My brother-in-law has our route all planned out and I guess we are taking 80 to 50 into San Francisco and then back home up through Oregon, Idaho etc. on I-90. Getting anxious and nervous! I guess I have been reading too much information.

Wendy & Fred, Just got back from Colorado and would recommend US Rt.36, but I would take I-74 to I-72 and take 36 from there into Colo. Never saw a road as straight as this and you can run 75 - 80 with no problem. Make sure you have plenty of gas be…

We too are planning a trip from Pa to Colorodo in June 09 and looking at the map I'm going to take US Rt 36 on the far side on Indianopolis to Co. A lot of people in forums have said this is a pretty nice change from the main highways. If anyone kno…

You asked about the Badlands. I've been there a few times, it's a loop drive, not sure how many miles, alot of people visit, it's not too desolate. They have one or two visitor centers also. It's well worth seeing, it's kind of like being on another planet in places, such a unique landscape. And of course if you visit the Badlands, you've gotta be a total tourist and go to Wall Drug for some cheesy souveniers.

If you haven't already seen the popular national parks, there are a few you should definitely see, like Carlsbad Caverns, Arches, Gila Cliff Dwellings, Grand Canyon of course (I scored a free helicopter ride over the canyon when I went, beat the pilot at pool!) Death Valley should be experienced at least once. There are so many to see, and lots of great towns along the way. I hardly ever travel the interstates, and because of that I see so much more and meet so many nice people, mostly in diners and rest areas!
