I'm trying to plan a road trip all across the US. I wanna hit up some of the best places in all of America. Historical landmarks, museums, monuments, restaurants, highways, natural wonders...just best places in general. What are some of your favorite places in America?

You're near a great place to start out, Maggie Valley,N.C., then get on I40 and head west, there wont be much really to see until you get to New Mexico, but after that, its fantastic.
also then head north on I-5, once you get north of the smog, its incredible again.

Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri (or any of the surrounding lakes). Best kept secret in America.

The Columbia river gorge with Horse
Tail Falls and Multnomah falls
Kootenai falls in Idaho
Kauai
and for some local flavor try Hemmed in Hollow
on the Buffalo and the upper Jacks Fork.
Taum Sauk
Elephant Rock
Amidon
Silver Mines
Visit them all and you have done well!

If you are around the Utah/Idaho line, check out the Snake River bridge in Twin Falls, ID. I wouldn't plan a trip around it, but if you are in the area it's a pretty cool sight to see.

Royal Gorge is pretty cool too

I really regret not taking more time out to explore when I was stationed out west in Wyoming and Idaho.

Maroon Bells in the summer is breathtaking. You will see some amazing wildlife (on one trip an Elk walked up to within 30 feet of me).

Nashville
New York
Vegas
