If I could take a road trip anywhere I would love to go to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. I think it is so beautiful. I've never been there before! Another place I'd love to visit again is the Grand Canyon.

One of the next road trips I'd really love to do is in the Pacific Northwest. I love visiting the National Parks so I'd love to hit Olympic, Mount Rainier, North Cascades, and Crater Lake. I'd also love to see Multnomah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge

I would love to return to the Grand Canyon!
A bucket litst item is to ride the Mules down into the canyon and then hike along it!
When I went this past January my friends and I just hiked along the South Rim because the North Rim is closed during the Winter. This was a pit stop on my move half-way across the country! It was freezing! There was also snow, so many of the trails going down were closed due to ice at the time.

I also want a better phone who's camera lense isn't scratched to take a better picture! This does not do it justice! D:

Broken Vow, while ice doesn't sound like the easiest to trek around in, it sure does give me such a different mental picture of the Grand Canyon!! It's always portrayed as a desert, like a dry hot crack in the Earth, but your daydream is giving a different landscape. I love it.


I am currently daydreaming about roadtripping to Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, CO. It's such a beautiful place, and is so accessible to folks of all abilities. Here's a picture of me the last time my fiancee and I traveled down to the springs: https://imgur.com/a/uxZU3Re

I have ALWAYS wanted to take a coast to coast roadtrip. Start in Vancouver, British Columbia and drive my way down to St. John's, Newfoundland. I live in Alberta and have only been as far as Saskatchewan, so it would be really fun to see my country and all the different types of scenery.

I would drive north to Mackinac Island. Can't go all the way, of course, there's no cars allowed on the island, have to take a ferry to finish getting there. Half the shops on the island do homemade fudge and omg it's the best smell ever. Could really use some right now!

That is the cutest place Jaya! 

I'd have to choose Bar Harbor, Maine. I've always wanted to visit Maine and this town is just too cute!

I would love to do a road trip to the New Forest, UK especially in Summer so can see the feral ponies roaming around plus there would be foals at foot.

@Gooseberry, Ice is never easy to tread on unless you have those grippy things that attach to your shoes! I'm forgetting what they are called. Ice doesn't bother me, just when basically the trails are steep and it's a long way to fall that does! xD It blew my mind that there was snow. Just a dusting, but still there was snow in Arizona! Haha! I guess it being in the desert it has both extremes. In the summer it's dry and super hot, winter is cold with the chance of snow! When we went back in Jan the daytime high was maybe 15F out and that's not counting what the windchill was. It was also very windy when we went so we froze, but had a ton of fun. It was also less crowded so we could enjoy just being there without a lot of people around.

BV: Crampons?

I'd love to take a trip to every U.S. state, in a big campervan. Obviously I'd have to visit Alaska and Hawai'i by plane.

Alternatively, to travel from Sagres in Portugal to Khasan in Russia. Longest continual road trip it is possible to take without ferries.

Or a train journey from Porto in Portugal to Saigon in Viet Nam.

Or a train journey from Moscow to Vladivistok aboard the Trans-Siberian Express.

Those are epic, but one that'd be even more epic would be to travel via road, rail and sea from the westernmost point of Ireland to the easternmost point of North America.

I've been here once before, but I'm dying to go back to California to backpack Lake Tahoe, specifically the Desolation Wilderness area. It's some of the most beautiful backcountry camping I've ever done. I only got to spend 3 days 2 nights out there and I'd like to ideally do a week.

I love this post! My boyfriend and I have set out to visit all the states, national parks, and all the state parks in our home state (Pennsylvania). So it's really hard for me to pick just one place to roadtrip to. However my current obsession is with the Florida Keys. Blue water, bridges, the wildlife, palm trees, and the beach...count me in!

If I could take a road trip to anywhere right now, I'd happily go to numerous states. I've only ever been to Georgia, Tennessee, Florida and one of the Carolinas (passing through to TN). I need to branch out more. The main thing I want at the moment is water... I am easy to please.

ccimage-shutterstock_204070453.jpg

Fort Payne, Alabama is one of them. :D

SmokyMountains6.jpg?itok=TUl3ERJl
Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee is another.

poole-s-mill-falls-alan-cressler.jpg?1537943704

Poole's Mill Falls in Ball Ground, GA is another.

I could go on and on, as I've never really been outside of my home state, but I also hate to be away from home so... XD
