If you were Given a free trip to anywhere in the Continental US Where would you go??

[Bassman Ia.]

Maine, never been there. Been everywhere out west.

[I.P. Freely]

Ouray Colorado. Little Swiss of America. Absolutely beautiful out there. Buddies and I took a motorcycle trip out there back in 2014 and the views on and off road were freaking nice!

I definitely want want to go back!!

This actually happened to me 35 years ago after I won a contest with a new local travel agency. Old guys remember travel agencies. Anyhow, my wife and I flew to Tucson, Arizona in the middle of the winter.

California to see my brother or Minnesota to see my SIL and BIL.

I would do Glacier National Park, then go south to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park. I would book 2 guided trout fishing excursions as well. Tough to beat the scenery plus some world class trout fishing.

This guy knows what he's talking about.

Alaska

Oh, "continental" like the breakfast?

If Alaska is in play then Hawaii ... If not.. What part of the year?

Continental US..........this would be my first choice. Maine would be #2

I have been to many of the places mentioned and Alaska is at the top of the list easily if you enjoy wildlife and fishing and beautiful scenery. It is also the hardest to plan but well worth the effort.

I'm letting this guy plan the trip.




Oops... I missed the May timeframe... Might be a bit early for above.


Another possibility... The Texas Hill Country.





Might be at the tail end of peak bluebonnet viewing, but if it's early May, the wildflowers should still be pretty spectacular there. Make your home base around the Kerrville/Mountain Home area, rent a motorcycle (or car) and just hit the roads... Tons of wildlife and some really cool routes, vistas and views within ~50-75 mile radius (mostly west and/or south) of there... If some city stuff is desirable, San Antonio is about an hour down I-10.

Lots of stuff to see/do.

My man!

Assuming you are wanting to relax and go sightseeing as opposed to a fishing trip I have to vote for heading west. I live in Maine, I've seen a lot of it and we have some nice areas but just having toured the west, it doesn't really compare. Everything out there is on a much bigger scale. Grand Teton/Yellowstone, Glacier, Yosemite, Zion/Bryce would be my top choices. Many places like Custer State Park or the Sawtooths, for example, are also worth a visit but I don't know as I'd dedicate a full week to them.

Feel free to contact me with any questions and I'll do my best to answer. First decision is what do you want to do during that week? Hike, bike, fish, photograph, shop, eat, etc.?

[mean_dean]

I have a goal to visit all 50 states, currently sitting at 32 with the whole north east from NY/VA/NJ/etc... on my list still. So I would probably go somewhere up there where I could rent a car and drive/visit all those states to knock the 10 I need up there off my list. Plan for a fall trip so I could see the colors.

[rboren]

Texas in the winter and maybe Upper Peninsula during summer. Go fishing at both places!
