You don't have to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway in one day. We drove it in a couple of days back in the late 70s. There are plenty of places to stop on the Parkway for something to eat and restroom facilities. There are overlooks where you can pull off and get spectacular views. There are several places you can stay just off the Parkway. All within a short drive. You can pull off at several places in order get to the place you want to stay.

[@nathanmeece9794]

The Great Smoky Mountains are in both Tennessee and North Carolina

Been on that roadway from California to Washington. Lots of great things to see along that highway including the redwood forests and the Tillamook cheese factory

[@jishani1]

in response to the route 66 road trip, you could always rent a car at the starting destination and turn it in where you end and fly out from there, so you wouldn't have to do it twice.

The Knife's Edge Trail in Katahdin State Park in Maine. It's a 1 mile long 3-5 feet wide crest of mountain with extreme drops off each side and strong winds. Lots of videos if you prefer not to make the trip on your own, but see it anyway,

I’ve been to 47 out of all 50 states and have been to 82 out of these 100 spots on the list. I was fortunate enough growing up to be able to travel the country multiple times.

The Cahokia mounds site in Illinois is estimated to have had a population larger than London on its time. Pretty crazy. And we've got Native mounds similar to that all over the country. Pinson State mounds in Tennessee is even older!

You can drive to Alaska on the Al Can highway, or you can take a ferry from Washington state. The planes that fly into Anchorage from all over the globe are not little planes.We had the largest plane in the world, the Antonov, land here during the pandemic. That same plane was destroyed by Russian troops last year in Ukraine. Anchorage is the third largest cargo airport in the US and handles massive planes all the time in any weather. Small planes such as float planes and ski planes are used for excursions to villages and off the road system places but cities in Alaska where most tourists visit have regular airports.

[@spaceshiplewis]

Best way to do Route 66 is to go EAST to WEST in a comfortable large car (there is a reason why those classic Cadillacs are so big). Go with a minimal planning and be open to seeing silly, crazy, insane things like largest buffalo or a weird bug museums, or VWs stuck in the desert, or whatever the billboards are advertising, just go and see and don't try to make sense of it all. At the end of the EAST to WEST journey, you get to see the Pacific Ocean and explore Venice Beach and other LA places. You can then drive up to Anaheim and go to Disneyland or go to San Francisco. Route 66 EAST to WEST has a way better finish line and the roadside attractions get crazier the farther west you go so the build up is a lot more exciting.

[@dionshare7103]

I love amusement parks and roller coasters. I've never been to Cedar Point although I actually lived in Columbus, OH for about a year and a half. It's a place I can say is on a bucket list for me.

[@BTinSF]

Alaska: You do NOT have to take a plane anywhere if you don't want to. I would suggest taking one of the ferries that depart the Seattle area to Valdez and renting a car there and driving up the highway toward Fairbanks. If you have the time you can go all the way but you don't have to go that far to see glaciers and the amazing Copper Canyon. There's also a junction where you can make a left turn and go to Anchorage which you might want to do if you want to see Denali (I believe there's a train from Anchorage to the park). The trip to Valdez by water will allow you to get your fill of fjords and coastal scenery which is spectacular.

[@hydej1667]

But . . . . You Do have to fly to see most of Alaska's millions of acres. Not accessable by ferry, boats, nor by driving (no roads to Most of Alaska 🙃

[@BTinSF]

@@hydej1667 Again, you can see a large chunk of Alaska's interior from the roads running between Valdez and Anchorage or Fairbanks. That plus the coast you can see from the ferry between Seattle and Valdez and what you can see in Denali by taking the train there from Anchorage should be enough for any tourist, especially ones like the Beesleys who expressed an aversion to flying in the sort of light planes that go elsewhere.

[@shannacraft4099]

Idk if I missed it but I didn't see Sleeping Bear Dunes in Michigan. A while back it won the most beautiful place in America. Pictured Rock National Lakeshore is another beautiful place in Michigan.

Orcas Island is part of the San Juan Islands, which is just north of Puget Sound in the Straight of Georgia. It's actually pronounced ore-cuss, despite there being a lot of orcas in the waters around there. I grew up in the Puget Sound area, about an hour & a half west of Seattle, and that's how all of us always said it.

[@invicta6110]

Been to Niagra Falls, Mt. Rushmore, The Corn Palace (unavoidable when traveling West from the Midwest), The Alamo, Notre Dame Stadium (touchdown Jesus!), Wrigley Field, Las Vegas, Smokey Mountains, Disney World and Route 66. Would also recommend the Badlands National Park in South Dakota, Little Bighorn National Monument, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the city of Deadwood in South Dakota, St. Augustine Florida and Key West Florida. Also if passing through St Louis you have to check out the Arch.

[@donaldpicard7752]

My final score was seven--Liberty Hall and City Hall in Philadelphia, the Smokey Mountains, Disney World, Nashville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Daytona. I've been to lots of other places, but they didn't make that guy's list. He left out the Huntsville Alabama Rocket Park, Sweetwater Tennessee's The Lost Sea cave system, the Very Large Array radio telescope facility in New Mexico, and lots of other neat places I've been to in the US. That's understandable because I live in the Southern US and he seems to be based on the West Coast.

Myself and my wife got married just down the road from the orchard house at the Colonial Inn Bed. It,s been around singe before the Revolutionary War. Orchard House is very nice.

I dispute that the Portland headlight is the most iconic lighthouse in America. The Cape Hatteras lighthouse is much more iconic, and it's also one of the tallest lighthouses in the world. NC has a bunch of distinctive lighthouses, all of which are more interesting than that plain white monolith he chose.

[@Pinkfong2]

When you come, you must see Philadelphia and it’s iconic City Hall. A few blocks up the street is where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were written. Also, go walk the Parkway. He is right that Philly is more a European city really. It’s a major city with a hometown feel. I should know, it’s my hometown.

[@phukyerpheefees]

This guy has a definite west cost preference. The majority of his picks are west of the Mississippi River.

[@kenmahoney5255]

That's because he lives in Oregon or use too.

[@carriemcintosh6066]

I felt he had too much of an East Coast bias, and threw a few touristy things from the heart land in there. Skipped most of the rockies and then added a bunch of west coast. While visiting the childhood home of Mark Twain and Louisa Alcott might be of interest to maybe 1% of people watching, He left out places like Zion, Bryce, the Bonneville Salt flats, Grand Tetons, Tombstone, Sedona, Roswell... SO many places in the rockies & Southwest that should have been included rather than a rebuilt (not even original) cabin in the backwoods of Kentucky. The way the list was going I expected him to put 'the biggest ball of yarn;' or 'the 50 ft tall rocking chair' as must sees.

[@paidtourist6563]

I've been to all 48 continental states. Most of America's beauty is West of the Mississippi

[@lornawestlake9280]

We have made it to 71 of the places mentioned. Overall, I think he made some egregious omissions such as the Redwoods, both national and state parks in CA, Napa Valley, Mt. St. Helens National Monument, San Simeon (Hearst Mansion or Biltmore in Asheville NC (Vanderbilt) should have been included over some of the residences he mentioned (Winchester Mystery House??). Also, Sedona, Zion NP, Bryce NP, Mesa Verde, where were they on this list? Houston Space Center is a must see if you're interested in space, and Key West is wonderful for its laid back atmosphere. Since he included whole cities on his list, Savannah and Charleston SC should have been included. What about Mammoth Cave NP in Kentucky? Those are a few I can think of off the top of my head.

[@tcar904]

Absolutely agree! A lot was left off, but he only listed 100 and there are so many amazing places (including the ones you listed) 😊

I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunities to see many of these places. The Pacific NW, Glacier National Park, Columbia River Gorge, Blue Ridge Pkwy/Smokey Mountains are among some of my favorites. Many of these I don't consider worth the trip, but then I tend to gravitate more to the natural wonders as opposed to the historic sites. Many amazing places not listed here, unfortunately. Best cities to visit besides NY are San Francisco, San Diego, Nashville, Chicago and Seattle (imo).

Holland- just a really cool, really dutch city. a neat example of immigrants maintaining their homeland culture throughout the generations. watch out for the metric fuckton of tulips if you have allergies. Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum, Farmington Hills- exactly what it says on the tin. lots of doodads and thingamajigs. bonus cool points if you're a tally hall fan. Cherry Festival, Traverse City- cherry pies. cherry sundaes. cherry jelly. cherry jam. cherry scones. cherry cake. cherry art. cherry clothing. cherry music. cherry bobbing competitions. cherry pie races. cherry heart. cherry soul. all on in a really nice coastal resort town with a neat museum and theater. Sault Ste Marie- oldest city in Michigan. old cathedral, old play theater, tower of history, shipwreck museum on an actual ship (though not quite as comprehensive as the one in Paradise).

We're talking about the guy that came up with the forward pass. He was the first coach to not allow his team cigarettes as he knew it hurt athletic ability. This was in the 1930s. Plus you can't forget the "Win one for the Gipper" speech or that he's the first Hall Of Fame coach. Or that he had 3 National Titles in 11 years at Notre Dame.
