The Ultimate Road Trip Guide


You’ve said it a thousand times before: “I want to see what the United States has to offer, I mean, it Is our backyard!”  Road trips are an adventure through culture and should be taken several times during a lifetime.  Take a journey once in a while.  Below we’ve included some US hot spots that are known for shock, awe, and a little rest and relaxation that’s much deserved.  Feel free to tell us your story or recommendations:

Colorado
Two words:  Calendar photo.  Because that’s what pictures look like from the beautiful state of Colorado.  Lush vegetation, countless hiking trails, fishing, rock-climbing, and museums, all for your enjoyment and that’s just during the summer!  In winter, you can experience any sport under the sun including snowboarding, skiing, and ice climbing, all the while enjoying what the Centennial State has to offer.

Chicago, Illinois
The ‘windy’ city has the largest US building, the Willis Tower (formerly known as the Sear’s tower), an observatory, a walk along path on the coast of Lake Michigan, zoos, and some very cultural clubs based on the home of the Blues. 

New Orleans, Louisiana
After Hurricane Katrina, all seemed lost for the Mardi Gras foundation New Orleans created. One of the oldest cities in the US, a place is only as strong as its people and New Orleans inhabitants never give up.  As the birthplace of jazz New Orleans has the Mardi Gras festival, the beautifully designed French Quarter, and delicious Cajun food for inquiring connoisseurs.



Las Vegas, Nevada
Viva Las Vegas! Elvis said it best in this culturally rich city.  Even if you don’t gamble, Vegas is a smorgasbord of excitement.  Extravagant shows, hotels like the Bellagio with gorgeous designs, nearby hiking grounds, and cool museums like the Neon make Vegas a unique place to visit.  Not to mention a great club scene for party patrons. 

Washington, DC
The nation’s capital is a historical centerpiece.  The monuments, like the Lincoln Memorial, Smithsonian Museums, and Georgetown will make this trip unforgettable.  Washington is a quintessential stop for American citizens to soak in some historical knowledge and aesthetic pleasure

Ok, so we’ve provided several spots for your next road trip.  Have you had any road trips experiences you would like to share or maybe we missed your favorite hot spot?  Feel free to comment below:
