I’m a senior in high school from CT. For spring break 4 friends and I are driving to Jackson Hole Wyoming and Yellowstone. Anyone have any suggestions of places we should see along the way (route is attached)? We plan on camping on the side of the road and driving in shifts to make the 33 hour drive in 2ish days.

Did you purposely make the trip route as boring as possible? Nebraska f’real?

My son did this trip from Vermont twice. It sucks. First day you'll get to Davenport IA if you push it. Rent a hotel room off exit 295B, you can afford it. You will thank yourselves later.
Day 2, you'll get to Jackson around 11pm or so. Be careful of Antelopes on the road at night from Rock Springs to Jackson.
Hopefully you have a friends place to crash at in J-hole. Housing is tighter there than a Brazilian slum. Drive safe.

I worked in/around yellowstone doing guide stuff for awhile. Dont waste your time in this tourist trap and DONT try to find lodging anywhere near.

Dont miss out on Grand Tetons nat'l park, some wonderful paddling to be had at the foot of some crazy sheer mountain cliffs.

In yellowstone, i recommend the hike up to the petrified forest. Really incredible views and usually not overcrowded. Be ready for sliding and scrambling. You probably already know to avoid the main shit as its all lame and developed. The whole upper (north) loop is really underrated, has some incredible vistas.

Bring something to cover your face (thick rag) if you cant handle sulphur smell, as yellowstone is full of sulphur mist spraying you in the face.

SUNSCREEN, you're at a way higher elevation than home so you'll be catching lots of rays, not to mention most attractions have you standing near glaring pools of water. Dont forget to get the backs of your hands.

Enjoy, yellowstone is AWESOME if you can avoid normie fatigue

This 100%. The parts of Pennsylvania being driven through are pretty good but once you reach Ohio it's fucking over and hell until the end.

You’re going through Iowa and Nebraska, that’s 14 hours nonstop of corn fields. Add a couple hours to your trip and go through South Dakota. What month is spring break, March/April? Going to be cold and bleak af wherever you go.

Tan before you go. Sunscreen is terrible neurotoxin shit. Skin irritant. Body was meant to handle sunlight and make use of it. Sunscreen products are not subject to FDA approval like other topical drugs. Heavy sunscreen users get very sick. Ultraviolet radiation only causes skin cancer from burning. Build up with low amounts to increase melanin pigmentation, which is the bodies natural defense. If you are not a fast tanner like me, get melanotan II.

Senior in Ohio here. Wish my friends were based enough to drive 33 hours to get /out/.

I've done a couple roadtrips to the northwest, and recommend stopping in Badlands Nat'l park, Mt. Rushmore and Devil's Tower along the way. The first day is going to suck no matter what, but it's worth spending extra time on the second and third days to see this stuff. Badlands are 100% worth driving through. Mt. Rushmore isn't terribly exciting, but it's worth seeing in person at least once. Devil's Tower is also a 10/10, 11/10 if you watch Close Encounters of the Third Kind before.

If you follow this route, about halfway through South Dakota you start seeing billboard every mile or so for "Wall Drug Store." This goes on for about 50 miles or so before the exit. Take the exit. It's a massive complex of endless hokey tourist trinket gift-shops in the middle of nowhere. Also worth a stop since it's just off the highway and will get some laughs.

Anyways, adding these stops will only add a few hours to the drive, but will improve it tons. The views will also be better as you'll be going through the Black Hills of South Dakota instead of the cornfields of Nebraska.

You should drive over the southern states on the way there, and over the northern states on the way back. Check out Glacier National Park.
