I have traveled road trips galore in the past, and I have visited many popular places in the United States. I want your suggestions on road trips that I can do, from Houston, that cover other scenic spots and gorgeous landscapes and all round awesome tourist destinations. I have already seen the f…

Are you going to be using the Cobalt for your trip, or have you found something else? As far as places to go; I’d say Mount Rushmore seems like an ideal trip. My mom went to Veil, Colorado several years ago on a bus tour and she enjoyed it. She just got back from Gettysburg and Hershey, PA a couple…

Denver may not be cold, but then again, it might be. The temperature swings in Denver can be dramatic, and October is a good time for it to happen. I’ve been in Boulder, CO in mid-May and Mid-September and it snowed a few inches. If you go into the Colorado Rockies, be prepared for snow in Octobe…

Consider Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Taos. Each has their own charm and this is a good time to visit. You could also do this trip on the way to Denver.

The Natchez Trace Parkway in Mississippi is scenic and (best of all) CLOSE to you: http://www.nps.gov/natr/index.htm

I second Jayhawkroy. Now’s a very good time to go to Santa Fe. The aspens should be turning shortly. Lots of stuff to see and do in the area. If you go, eat at La Hacienda in Old Town Albuquerque. Get the carne adovada.

The Missouri Ozarks are fantastic for driving.

CT to Vermont and up in the fall, following the foliage map (I assume this is not “surrounding NYC”-if already done then don’t!).

We liked the Keys. Much of the speed limit on the causeway is 35 mph so you need to adjust to the slower pace and that can be a good thing to do. If you stay in Key West, the hotels are expensive but a couple of nights are worth the time that you can spend there. Park the car and walk if you will…

It’s a long drive to get there but the Napa and Sonoma valleys in CA are a nice place to be and for driving. Taste some wine and eat well too. You might like the big flea market in San Jose.
