Where to go? Road trip, to the west..

[spencer]

I plan on taking a week or so off of work, and just seeing some of the country.. However I have no idea where Ill go what Ill do...

I just want to see other parts of the country and find a place I would love to go.. Plus I have always wanted to see mountains and living in south louisiana, there non existant..

I plan on going places like colorado utah nor cal, and oregon, and don't mind making it up as I go.. Are there any places you guys recommend I spend a little more time?

Like I said I mainly just want to see some of the country..
But Im also looking for a place where I want to live..
I want to live in a small friendly town, where it snows and there are at least some nearby mountains/hills.
Im also looking to follow the same career over there which may be hard, as I am currently a plant electrician.. Not sure if there are as many plants in other parts of the country or new construction like there is down here..

Anyways recomend me some places I HAVE to go... Remember Im from louisiana and hills/mountains are the most beautiful thing to me.. I have seen a few when visiting grandparents in conneticut but I was very young...

TELL ME WHERE TO GO..

Mt. Rainier is just down the road from here, and St Helens is in this state too.

Take a road trip through New Mexico. Taos, Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Alamogordo are pretty cool. Roswell sucks, as does Ft. Sumner and Las Cruces.

valley of the giants for sure...
+1 on Santa fe...if you head north west out of santa fe there is a beautiful national forest/park that was among the most incredible stretches of road i have ever been on.
Also if you make it to Utah, Zion national park is really breathtaking.

Enjoy!

I was going to suggest Zion as well. Maybe time your roadtrip with some bands that you want to see as well.

Two words; Grand Canyon.

Check out Crater Lake in Oregon, then go see Lee Barker in Redmond. Once you're in Redmond, start checking out real estate.

Yosemite!

That's what I wanna see anyway...

Stay away from Washington State right now. It is damp, cold, rainy, windy, and gray all the time.
