At Death Valley you will quickly come to Zabriskie Point, be sure to do it. Furnace Creek is OK. Make sure you drive all the way out to the dunes as that's the best part, and don't skip Dante's Peak. Do them in that order.

Let's head on up US 95 to Death Valley...on the way we'll see.....a lot of nothing, and it is awesome.

Just 45 minutes from New York City, Bear Mountain State Park might as well be a million miles away. Let's hit the carousel, visit the Bear Mountain Inn and lament that they took out the fireplace, walk the lake, go see the Bears in the zoo, walk the...

We're making our way from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon, but taking the interstate would be a mistake when we could visit beautiful Sedona.

Let's climb Camelback Mountain, ride a horse, and eat in Scottsdale. The desert is way more pretty than you may realize.

BBQ!!! And some cinnamon rolls, and a Chiefs game, and the Negro Legaues museum and the World War I museum but did I mention BBQ?
