>>1872954If you want to see the great diversity of American terrain take I10 from Jacksonville to LosAngeles.
You'll see great tall pine and oak forests, endless plains, great beaches, swamps, bayou, deserts, mountains, mesas, gorges, canyons etc.
Stop for a couple of days in Arizona or New Mexico and take a detour a little north and you can add Alpine environments,
permanently snow-capped mountains, and massive canyons.
Although the route can be boring in some areas (lots of desert and large parts of Texas are pretty normal looking generic Americana)
it totally makes up for that if you do stops for a couple days in Pensacola or in Mississippi for the beaches,
New Orleans for nightlife, and if you stop at Phoenix and head north towards Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon for a couple of days.
Vegas is also not that far from the Grand Canyon, and you get to see the Hoover Dam along the way.
By the end of the journey, you will be in LA anyway which allows you to start a trip north along the coast if you want.
