Most trips within the United States were driving vacations. One extended from Florida west to California and up to Canada. Another was Florida up to Cape Cod, over to Niagara Falls and into Canada, thence due south back to Florida. One of the more memorable ones was a flight to Denver from which we drove to Mt. Rushmore, west to the Devil's Needle, on to Yellowstone, to the Grand Tetons, and back to Denver for the flight home.

Which was the best?

Any trip when I was with my dear wife was the best. God took her ten years ago and I still miss her daily.

I love American Road trips. Your list of routes taken and places visited brings back some wonderful memories. Some of mine were by car or SUV, others by motorhome, a few into Mexico and also Canada. It was all good. Many were with our children who also tell me today they fondly remember our road trips.
