Texsox Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Anyone done Alaska by land? I'm planning for 2023 or 2024 a trip to Glacier NP, Bannf PP, then Alaska Highway to Alaska then the loop stopping is Homer, Seward, etc. Not certain about the return route. Towing our travel trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 My better half has suggested a trip to Spring Training. We have never been there or to Arizona at all. Just going to catch 1 game and then several more days in AZ. Any suggestions of places not to miss or other tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my favorite state to visit. Been there like 4 times now. Definitely recommend spending 1-2 days in Sedona, especially if you're in to hiking (plenty of easy trails with paths for all ages). We also spent a day at the Grand Canyon and 2 days in Page, going to see Horseshoe Bend and ATTEMPTED to go see Antelope Canyon, but it was still closed due to Covid. Since Antelope Canyon was closed, we drove about an hour into Utah and went to Buckskin Gulch instead. Jerome, AZ is also a funky little ghost town to go see. Well, it USED to be a ghost town but now it's a tourist town. It's up on a mountain. Look up some YouTube videos, it's unique. We also visited Sunset Crater in Flagstaff, which used to be a volcano. It's black rock and black sand from volcanic ash. I took my drone to all of these places and got some really cool footage. It was my favorite trip we've taken and I can't wait to go back. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lot of roads other than to connect the cities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducksnort Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) Going to Denver for a week in June/July. Seeing a concert at Red Rocks, seeing a Rockies game at Coors, exploring downtown, and venturing south to Estes Park. Any suggestions or tips on must-sees/best restaurants in the Denver area?

Haven't been there for a few years(Last time I went was for an education conference). However, we did eat at a place called Buckhorn Exchange which we thought was phenomenal.Pretty diverse menu,if I recall even rattlesnake was a choice lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked going to Golden and Boulder. There's also a bunch of small mining towns around that I loved going to but couldn't tell you any names. Just cheap touristy stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Read about the violence in Chicago the past two nights all over Twitter. Sun Times and Trib had very little on the mobs attacking cars by Millennial Park. Any suggestions on where I should stay if I am coming in for 4 nights in June: Thursday thru Sunday on vacation? City or suburbia? Ballgame, zoo, museums, pizza, comedy show on agenda meeting people there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
