Gunnerson Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 So between Oregon and Arkansas what are the must see stops? If there is enough time on the return trip I plan to check out the Grand Tetons, but I am sure there are other "must see" things on the road. Ill be passing through the following: Eastern Oregon Idaho Utah Wyoming Colorado Kansas Oklahoma Arkansas (Siloam Springs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombking Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Depending on the route through Utah/Colorado Dinosaur National Monument is pretty cool. Edit, http://www.nerdydaytrips.com/ is an awesome resource. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PumpkinHead Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Toad Suck, Arkansas.... but you are too far northwest to want to go there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romans832 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Toad Suck, Arkansas.... but you are too far northwest to want to go there. Go anyways, it's worth every minute... Hey Bubba, it's me Gator! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romans832 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 4 Corners Yellowstone National Park Any of the National Parks on your way there, well worth it. (Brain fart, sorry) (If you go far enough south in UT worth going and seeing any or all of the Canyons) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroZero Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Easy, a trunk full of mescaline, pharmaceutical wonders and a tape recorder is what you need. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROGRE Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Depending on how close you get to northern New Mexico you should check out Bandelier National Monument. It is what remains of an amazing Pueblo Indian city that was built alongside/into a mesa. Some of the ladders up to the caves, mainly the large ceremonial cave, are tall and require some nerve to reach the top but it's worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savion47 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 You can stop in my home town of Blackfoot, ID. You can see a giant fake potato and if you show an out of state ID get a free baked potato. Honestly I suggest driving as fast as you can through that section. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluger Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Go anyways, it's worth every minute... This is really weird. One of the people I grew up with was from Toadsuck. What an incredibly small world. As to your specific suggestion, I think you should make time to see Yellowstone. It's an amazing place. Craters of the Moon in Idaho I also thought was fascinating. Dodge City in KS is great, very touristy (or was in the 80s, probably more so now), but fun cowboy stuff awaits there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldroud Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Mount Rushmore too far out of the way? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombking Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Mount Rushmore too far out of the way? It is about a half hour drive south of I-90 in South Dakota so not a listed state and probably more than out of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfestedKerrigan Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Hey! That sounds pretty much like our drive to Kentucky. We went to Mena Arkansas, and then through Little Rock, into TN and up into Bowling Green (home of the corvette museum...and sink holes) on our way to Lexington last fall. Sadly, we drove through that terrible flooding in WY and CO. So glad we got through that safely. The rain didn't let up until we were nearly to Kansas City. It started in Utah. Was sad to miss out on so many great camping and hiking spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
