I've been investigating Furkot and Road Trippers websites to find such smaller highlights.

While there don't neglect Devil's Tower in NE Wyoming. Also crossing the Missouri River traveling Rt90 was a sight to behold in itself. Traveling RT89 in Montana going north really bought home the sense and meaning of "Big Sky Country".
This gold mine in Montana is a time capsule and out of the way in scenic mountains. If you are brave and have a 4 wheel drive vehicle you can try the back way in off of RT 90 at Bearmouth. http://www.garnetghosttown.org/history.phpLast edited by Wicked ace; 01-20-2021 at 07:41 AM.

On the way, going through Ohio you need to stop in Dayton at The Museum of the USAF. They have an SR71 Blackbird and Valkyrie on display among many many other aeronautical and space items of interest.

Then head to the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green Kentucky. https://www.corvettemuseum.org/
Strike it rich on your way! This one is on my bucket list just because it seems so cool. It's not a National Park so it qualifies: https://www.arkansasstateparks.com/p...nds-state-park
Stopping in Kansas City for a steak just because you can. Speaking of steaks If you are near Oklahoma City OK you must stop and go to Cattleman's Steakhouse at the stockyards in OKC. https://cattlemensrestaurant.com/ Also for BBQ at Van's Pig House in Norman OKC. There are several locations now but this is still my favorite.Last edited by Wicked ace; 01-20-2021 at 09:54 AM.

There is another loop to take if your Near Durango. Of course Mesa Verdi and a few hours in Aztec for the ruins (watch out for the town sore heads). From the Four corners Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona Take 160 West to Kayenta and head North on 163. This will take you through Monument valley (several good campground there) continue north to just before Blanding UT. Then head west on 95 through Natural Bridges NM. fish in the north end of Lake Powell (lots of boon docking sites there) then continue on to Hanksville. There is an old market there (hope its still there) with the best butcher (bacon, sausage, etc). 85 then heads through Capitol Reef NP. From there at Torry hang a left (south) on 12 through the mountains to Bryce Canyon. From Bryce head south on 89, and depending on your rig size you can take the back door into Zion on 9. Most folkes will need to loop south through Arizona to 389 and swing north to the west entrance.
From Zion you can head North to Salt Lake, or grab I 70 back east through the Colorado mountains, or the scenic route and that is take 59/389 back to Fredonia then Alt 89 to Page. Then grab 98 east to 160 and back to where you started. Or from Zion again head south on I15 to Las Vegas.
Along the way you can shop for Native American jewelry. The Zuni reservation south of Gallop NM has the best silver and turquoise around. However be very careful of knockoffs that a lot of the roadside stands sell. Do you homework on where to buy.

If you find yourself heading West on I40......not much to see/do in NM & AZ........but just off I40 is a Natural Landmark that's amazing......Meteor Crater.......between Winslow and Flagstaff.....easy access on/off I40, and they have a rv park a mile of so from the crater.
