>>1979864This seems like a good thread to ask. I'm planning a trip along Route 66 this spring, from Chicago to the Grand Canyon. I plan to camp most of the way, with a couple motel stays and hiking trips in Palo Duro Canyon, Petrified Forest National Park, and of course the Grand Canyon. Never been this way before, are there any hidden gems I should visit? Also, how do I go about finding camping sites? In Indiana it is generally done in State parks at designated areas, am I at liberty to do it anywhere in BLM land?
