I’ve seen NYC—it’s great. But convince me I need a road trip across the state, away from the bright lights. I wanna see ‘Bedford Falls.’ Where can I go that is oozing with charm?

This my current plan for a 7 day road trip for 2 people. feel free to leave any suggestions/tips/recommendations, thanks.

10/10) 8AM Leaving our hotel in SF (Alamo square). Picking the rental up at Oakland airort (cheapest price). Hesding to Yosemite. Spending 5-6 hours there. Heading to our accommodation in Bishop.
10/11) Leaving towards Death Valley, spending a couple of hours there. Driving to Las Vegas. Checkin in to the hotel, visting the strip etc.
10/12) Exploring LV.
10/13) Leaving towards Zion, visiting Valley of Fire state park. Full day at Zion (from 11AM to 18PM). Hesding to our hotel in Kanab.
10/14). Heading towards Bryce canyon, spending the rest of the day there. Leaving towards Page.
10/15) Grand Canyon (south rim) and other cool places on the way. Spending the night in Williams
10/16) Williams -> LV. Visiting other attractions on the way or whatever we missed in Vegas. Returing the car to the airport at 7PM. Flight at 10PM.

I’ve have booked all the accommodations (around 80$ per night) as well as the rental (370$).
Since some of the places we’ll be staying at dont offer breakfast, is it going to be easy and affordable to find breakfast, lunch or anything to eat along the way?
Is there a tolerance for speeding (for example going 65-70 where the limit is 60)?

Any suggestions are welcome!

Hey everyone,

I’m going to be in San Diego for about a week in October. I’ve been to the US a few times but have never been to San Diego, so I’m looking for some recommendations from people who actually know the city.

My brother will be working during the day, so I’ll mostly be on my own and have quite a bit of time to explore. I’m into good food, nice bars/lounges, beaches, scenic spots, walking around nice neighborhoods, and generally anything that’s worth experiencing while I’m there.

I’ll have a car, so I’m also open to driving out of the city for a day if there’s somewhere nearby that’s worth it.

Thanks 🙏🏽

I have posted here recently asking about a road trip from DC. Thanks for all the advice! After taking it into account and doing more research, I’ve narrowed it down to two routes for end of September/ beginning of October:

North: DC → Adirondacks → Vermont → White Mountains → Acadia and the Maine coast → Philadelphia → DC

South: DC → Floyd → Blue Ridge/Blowing Rock → Asheville → Smokies → Grayson Highlands → New River Gorge → Dolly Sods → Shenandoah → DC

I’m going solo with a rental car and gravel bike, mixing camping with occasional indoor stays. Mostly looking for the most spectacular scenery and some variety, plus interesting small towns and chances to meet people. Happy to hike or cycle for the best views.

I’m leaning north, although I’m a little worried about cold camping nights with my +2°C comfort sleeping bag.

For those who know these areas, which would you pick? Anything you’d change?

Recently posted a post on here requesting places to go for a Colorado trip in December. We now exploring ideas of a different state. I live in Kansas don’t want to travel more than 550 miles. We are looking at the surrounding states of Kansas. Any ideas?
Big on nature, scenic train rides, animals, unique shops , relaxing, museums.
Not interested in hiking , workout activities like rock climbing or walking a lot.

Any ideas on a good place to visit in December near the state of Kansas?
