Road trip attractions?

I%26#39;m planning a December road trip through the states. Any suggestions concerning where to go, stay, and what to see would be appricated.

We really will need much more information, such as how long your have for your trip? Where do you fly into? What do you like to do, sightseeing, recreation, theme parks, city stuff? Who is going, family, couple, single, retired?

If you are planning on visiting Wyoming, December is winter, cold, snowy and can be difficult driving around. A visit to Jackson Hole to ski would be fun.

Hey there. Sorry the trip will be between 2 and three weeks. I%26#39;m either starting in Florida and working my way up or I can start in Boston and work my way down. (Either works as I have family in both places). I was planning on hiring a car; however I have heard that going by train and bus works well too. Also, there will be about 7 of us (young adults/ no children) from different nationalities so anything from museums and sky diving to camping will be considered fun! It also means we%26#39;re indifferent about the weather as to half of us snow is a new experience. Our budget is fairly flexible which helps a lot but mainly we%26#39;re looking at about 2- 3 star places, bed and breakfasts, and possibly hostels (but I%26#39;m a bit hesitant as sometimes you don%26#39;t know what to expect). Also, I%26#39;ve had the fortunate experience of living in Canada in the winter so I have driven in the snow before. Of course we wouldn%26#39;t want the trip delayed by snow storms etc so please recommend what you think is best. Thanks for your input!

the jackson hole area is beautiful in the winter. lots of things to do. there are 6,000-10,000 elk that come down from the mountains to the elk refuge for the winter, which is almost in downtown jackson. buffalo, bighorn sheep, mule deer, %26amp; eagles are plentiful.

snowmobiling is very popular during that time. it%26#39;s a lot of fun %26amp; there are several options of places to visit. there are 3 ski resorts in the jackson area %26amp; lessons are given that will have you skiing by yourself in 1/2 day. taking a trip into yellowstone during the winter is also a must. you can go by snowcoach or guided snowmobile tour.

here is a link is helpful if you are considering coming to this area.

I posted a reply to you on the Colorado forum page also but since Wyoming is farther north than Colorado the chances of you actually driving from the East coast to Wyoming and back again in the 2 weeks that you say you have for this trip are not easily done. As someone else posted, December can be brutal as far as driving conditions with blizzards. Blizzards come roaring in on a wave of frigid arctic air, and bring snow, low temperatures, strong winds and poor visibility due to blowing snow (like you can%26#39;t see the front of your car). Highways close down and you may be stuck for days where you are. I believe your best bet is to either fly in to a city in the west or stay on the East coast where your original plans are.

Thanks alot - I%26#39;ve decided to take most people%26#39;s advice and stick to the East coast. The country was just so big that i had no idea where to start and how much i would be able to see! So hopefully I%26#39;ll get to see Wyoming another time:)
