Re: Touring the USA
There is just so much to offer. Down spinners way there is the Smokey mountains and the blue ridge parkway.The northeast coast has a flavor all it's own, beautiful up there. The west coast has the coastal highway and some great Parks. Down south you have the gulf coast, and the southern hospitality. You can see a lot in 4 weeks but you'll never see it all.<br /><br />From my experience I would travel along the rocky mountains. Montana, Idaho, Wyoming Colorado, Utah, Nevada. There are so many natural parks in this area including Glacier,Yellowstone, Grand Teton, grand canyon, price canyon, Zion, just to name a few. <br /><br />Unfortunately the "real America" is disappearing into one blur of strip stores, shopping malls, and fast food joints. If you stay on the main highway every town is starting to look the same. I'll do a 4 weeker every few years and when I do I stay off the main highways and travel the little two lanes roads. I try to get as remote as possible. Thats the only way to see the real America. Stop in the little one horse towns and eat at the local diner, go into the Mom and Pop stores. Stay in a bed and breakfast, shoot the bull with the locals. <br /><br />What time of year are you planning to come over?
Seriously, if I had 4 weeks, I'd spend at least 2 of them exploring Grand Canyon. Take a back country hike, or go on a whitewater river trip. Just peering over the rim isn't enough, you have to get down into the canyon. It'll change your life.
