A Western Adventure Road Trip

The Great Platte River Road Archway is one of Nebraska's more unique museums. It starts at Fort Kearney, where the Oregon Trail, California Trail and Mormon Trail converged, in the 1840s. As you walk through time, you'll learn about the railroad, the Pony Express, the Civil War, even the 1950s and the arrival of the highway system! The museum is brand new and loaded with interactive exhibits and cool things to experience.

With its peaks, valleys, twists, and turns, the Million Dollar Highway portion of the San Juan Skyway in Colorado may be the most beautiful drive in America. It's a a 12-mile stretch of remarkably scenic road from Ouray, CO to Silverton, CO. The twists and turns (and lack of guard rails) keep you on your toes the whole route. Your ears pop, your eyes move rapidly to absorb the scenery, and your heart races at each vista, every one offering views totally different but just as stunning as the last. Ouray, Silverton, and Durango are incredible towns that blend Old West architecture and history with modern-day mountain-town vibes, creating a cozy and distinctively Colorado culture.
