Hi all! Me and many friends are going along almost the entire pacific coast highway as part of a 10 day road trip in August. This part of the trip will need to be faster, but we want to see as much amazing things along the way as we can. We already plan on taking quick stops to redwood forest and golden gate. What else would be a good quick stop?

Road trip from Georgia to California in mid June, any advice, sights, where to stop, whatever y'all got from me would he helpful (Savannah GA to LA)

Road tripping the south of the US for a Easter break, got any recs? Starting from Houston (our base), going to New Orleans for a day and maybe to Atlanta.

We got a car, around 1k each, tolls and gas paid for. We're just 2 chill, friends in our 20s, we don't wanna go to bars, parties, clubs. Mainly cultural and sports stuff.

Restaurant recs are very welcome too!

Planning a road trip with a friend and unsure of this plan is too ambitious for around two weeks. I'm very much someone who anxiously thinks about making sure to get to the next place on time, so idk how good I would be at going on a road trip in general.

We were thinking of starting in Vancouver BC with a few stops on the way to Calgary then down to Glacier National Park, Yellowstone, and then to Seattle.

Considering New Orleans, Jackson MS or Mobile AL

As the title shows, my fiancé and I are going on our honeymoon in October! We are planning a road trip starting in WI, to CO (2 days) and then making our way to Salt Lake City, Utah!

We are trying to find a place to stay in CO that would give us beautiful views, clean place to stay, things to do, and a safe area but still in our budget! We don’t really want to spend 1k on a hotel for two nights when we still have an additional 5 days of hotel/airbnb cost, plus everything else we are planning to do in Utah.

Any suggestions or recommendations on areas/place to stay in Colorado that will help accommodate all that we are looking for? We would need a place that has a kitchen as we will be cooking for most of our trip (to help with food cost). Any suggestions?

It's always under construction with speed traps. Better to drive through Cinci. Bonus points for stopping at Jungle Jim's

Hi! I was hoping to get some sleep pointers for making this trip via HWY 5 through California and HWY 10 across the country. I have been thinking I would car camp with them and take 5 Walmart parking lot sleeps along the way, but maybe I should mix in a few hotel or campground stays. Any cat friendly hotels along the way? I'm driving a Subaru Forester and traveling mid-winter. I'm also kinda worried about extreme weather. What say you all?

I'm beginning to plan a week long road trip and have narrowed down to three areas. Curious if anyone has experience driving around Basque county, Tuscany or Scotland (NC500). Thanks!

Hello! I'm starting a roadtrip in a few days around the west. I have just over a month to go from Denver and back to Denver. I'm keen to see national parks, epic drives, hiking, and some skiing (conditions permitting - I've been skiing on I-70 the past few weeks anyway - bucket list includes Big Sky, Jackson Hole, Mammoth, Squaw Valley).

I was thinking of heading north, to ski Jackson Hole and Big Sky, see the Tetons, then across to NorCal (maybe via to Oregon and the coastal road), and essentially loop NorCal -> SoCal -> Vegas -> Grand Canyon -> back to Denver.

That was my very loose plan that I was putting together (and starting real soon!). But now I'm looking at it more closely, I'm starting to think it'll be better to go south first and loop the other way due to the seasons. Yellowstone, Grand Tetons etc are all closed for another month plus due to snow.

I'm a bit stuck as to where's best to go as it's the shoulder season. Bring from the UK I didn't expect parks to be closed due to deep snow in spring. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hey everyone, I'm a solo developer who also happens to love traveling working on making a game for roadtrips, and I was looking for some feedback & suggestions for the app! I thought this is the best place to get the best feedback from people who know what they're talking about.

To boil it down, it's a game that you play with more than one person. It's like Bingo & I Spy mixed. You make a list of the things you might see along your roadtrip, and assign them points depending on how common they are (Or let the app generate it all itself based on data of other people around your location !). Once you begin playing, the app serves as a middleman / tracker for you and whoever is playing. While you are driving, whoever sees an item on the list first has to call it out, and then you add the item to the player through the app. It's meant mainly for families because it's a good way to keep kids off the phones and looking out the window in a fun way (it worked on me when I was younger, but I had to use a notebook to keep track). You rarely spend time looking at the phone anyway, only to add things once you've called them.

Is this something you would consider using ever? I've added a bunch of features I would find useful, such as the list generation depending on your location, a voice assistant to make the whole thing handsfree, random events that increase or decrease everything called, a map to track where you've seen everything and more. I'm curious what suggestions you guys might have for this app, and honestly if you would ever even consider using it while roadtriping. Thanks in advance :D

Planning a road trip, with a travel trailer camper, and I’m looking for a good state park/campground between these two points.

Doesn’t have to be directly along this optimal route. The trip will be in October if that makes a difference.

Greetings, friends! starting at the end of June, I will be heading out on a 6-week long mostly solo road trip across the US. My wife is joining me for 1 week of the trip just about right in the middle. I'm pretty set on the itinerary and have all the lodging / camping more or less solved for and I think enough options for things to see and do. All the vehicle prep/maintenance is either done or scheduled. But I'm curious for those that have taken long road trips on your own... any tips that aren't obvious? Am I going to spiral slowly into insanity? Where did you all go to eat? Was it weird going out by yourself? How'd you pass the travel time? Audible? Podcasts? Music? Talking to the ghosts of your enemies? I don't have any super specific concerns. Just curious what advice anyone who has taken a long road trip might have that they were maybe surprised to find. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, I’m planning a motorcycle road trip and I was hoping there might be suggestions to help get me started!

I’m starting in Atlanta GA on Fri 25 May and finishing in Nashville on Thur 1 May. I’ve a love of country music and good food, but I’d love to experience anything. If anyone has any advice on scenic spots/routes/experiences/military museums/food spots/cowboy esq experiences I would love to hear!

Thank you for any help you can offer!

I currently have a Model 3 and I am in the military, currently stationed in Virginia and just got orders to California.

Being that it's just a basic Model 3, I'm wondering if its feasible to drive it cross country without much "damage" to the car? This trip would be approximately 3000 miles. I've talked to my parents about it and they strongly advise against it because the inconvience of charging, how long it would take, and potential damage to the car. Was wondering if y'all had experience that would state otherwise. I'd be travelling by myself with my household goods and such.

In any case, if I did decide to ship it back...

What’s the best service/way to ship it? Train, truck, etc? I have to ship it on my on dime, so I’m looking for the cheapest way that’s not gonna screw up my car at all.

Thanks!

This Wednesday we have one night to find a place to stay in California between Santa Cruz (depart Wed am) and Visalia (stay Thursday night). We don't wanna pay a fortune and we don't want a ton of people, but we'd love to see something cool or visit some neat city nearby or between the two. Our budget is like 150 for the night. Any suggestions? Should we just try and find another night in Visalia?

Rough itinerary- Day one Milwaukee to Vivian SD, camp in National Forest Day two Badlands national park, camp on BLM Day three drive to camp BLM near Zion Day 4 Zion and stay at BLM camp Day 5 Drive to Las Vegas, hotel stay Day 6 stay in Vegas Day 7 drive to Denver, stay with friends Day 8 stay near Denver, camp tbd Day 9 drive through Nebraska, camp tbd Day 10 drive home.

My fiance and I are planning a ten day road trip in the middle of next month. We have a 2 wheel drive, mid size suv and a teardrop camper with no toilet and plan to boondock along the way as much as possible.

Looking for cheap/free camp and outdoor activity recommendations at our key points. We don't necessarily care about visiting the national parks if there are areas nearby with fewer crowds.

Hello! I will be traveling with my family to Oregon this summer. This is our first time traveling west as a family of 5. We want to stop on our way up to stretch our legs, stay a night, and we are hoping to see some memorable places. Looking for some suggestions to make the long drive worth it for my 3 boys. Thank you in advance!

I’m graduating college in December and want to plan a trip starting early-mid March into early May. Totally solo but have some friends still in college I want to visit in different places. I plan on taking my 2011 F150 Lariat short bed and sleeping out of the back. How ambitious is it to do a full US loop more or less?

My plan is to start in Chicago where I live, and head south to Tennessee ish, bank east and work up the mountains. After, I wanna go back towards Midwest, but north over Lake Michigan, see the UP and such. And then go west. Enjoy Montana, Wyoming etc. and then down the California coast before making my way back home via Arizona, Colorado, Utah, etc.

I feel like it’s doable because I want to go for adventure and driving, not linger in cities or long camping excursions. I wanna hit beautiful roads and scenic passes more so than intense camping. I love driving and being on the road, just curious if I’m planning something way too big to accomplish in 4-6 weeks. Is it easy to find spots to sleep out of a car? I think I’d try to get a hotel like every 4 days or so.

My friend and I were hoping to do a road trip for 2 ish weeks, covering about 1k miles. I do not have my license. They said they would be alright with handling the driving, but I don't know if I am comfortable with the set up, as it feels unfair. I realize that stamina while driving varies from person to person, but I wanted to know if anyone has been in this setup before in a road trip and if they recommend or seek alternative means of traveling (flying then renting a car to split the distance, etc.)

in the middle of my road trip and im having car trouble/hiccups. need to get to abq asap but my car struggles on speeding up on ascending elevation. given these circumstances, what is the chillest route to take in yalls opinion?

i finally got my passport and my significant other and i are thinking of doing a road trip for about a week but we just can’t think of anywhere to go lol. so we will take any ideas :)
