We take a little time during our current road trip to discuss some road trips that we love or would love to do around the United States.
It is, after all, made for road trips!
We discuss road trips all over the country, our favorites, our dishonorable mentions, and of course the ones that break the rules!
These would be great options for summer trips, especially in some of the areas that have harsh winters, or to get away from the harsh winters a little earlier!
Interested in a particular road trip? They’re listed below, but beware of spoilers!

First time listening to the podcast – great ideas! Bamf (?) sounds amazing. Happy you put in a shoutout to the Midwest so high up on the list too. I’m from Michigan and I can confirm northern Michigan is beautiful, the UP and Houghton and especially Pictured Rocks are gorgeous, especially late summer with a little fall tinge. Your trip would seem a little remiss without hopping over to Sleeping Bear Dunes though, and I think this northern part of the LOwer Peninsula is she Kid Rock is aiming about ;)
Whoops auto correct :/. *i think the northern part of the lower peninsula is what kid rock is singing about
@Elizabeth- Glad you liked it, and thanks for the recs. I’ll make sure to check these back out when I actually do get to go on the roadtrip. Sleeping Bear Dunes sounds awesome.
The northern part of the Lower Pennisula, eh? Well, either way, I gotta get up there!
Where is Route 66? Small town Americana along the forgotten highway.
@Adam- True, that’d be a good one. I definitely want to go across the US at some point. Just had so many other ones I wanted to do too!
I lived in an RV for 4 years with the purpose of exploring all of western North America. With that said, you are missing some great trips from western Wyoming through Montana and Idaho. Missoula is turning into a Pac NW feel town in the middle of the Rockies. They would be on the top of my list with Grand Staircase Escalante area of Utah and northern Arizona a close second.
And as a current resident of Golden, Colorado who’s scoured the state, CO doesn’t hold a candle to the road trips and Rockies to the north. My opinions of course. :)
