I'm driving from Houston, TX to San Diego, CA and was wondering if anyone could offer up some good places to see along the way. Any ideas anyone?
A few places pretty much along the way might include..
- Carlsbad Caverns
- White Sands
- Chirachua National Monument
- Tombstone
- Tucson (Desert Musuem, Saguro National Park, Old Tucson Studios)
- Kitt Peak National Observatory
- Organ Pipe National Monument
- Yuma Dunes
- Old Yuma Depot
- the lookout tower near Jacumba over the desert
But.. depends upon which route you take, and how long you want to go off the shortest or fastest route (I-8)
Larrison's list is a good one... here are a few more things to see.
In Arizona along I-10... The Thing, east of Tucson, is a cheap museum. You'll see signs for it. Kartchner Caverns State Park (south of Benson) is having a 50% off sale this summer--tour reservations suggested. If you're into hiking, Picacho Peak State Park between Tucson and Casa Grande.
In Arizona along I-8... Stop for a date shake in Dateland. Yuma Territorial Prison is a quick stop. Again, if you like to hike, Imperial sand dunes are west of Yuma in California.
