Hi there, I'm planning a trip mid July from Maryland to Tucson and would like to take some smaller, prettier, secondary roads...is this possible. My 15 year old daughter wants to "see some cities" (we live in a more rural area), any suggestions for fun things along the way. Planning on driving no more than 6 hours per day. Any and all suggestions welcomed! Thanks!!
Not sure if this is what you are after - but - I've got a few hundred thousand miles under my belt and I would say that on the east Coast to the Mississippi River you are really best staying on the Interstates.
and most are crowded, so MY route would be Frederick to Columbus to Indianapolis to St Louis. (I travel a lot to Denver and usually go through Hannibal and take RT 36 to Boulder) You might look at Rt 50 as a side road to Kansas City then on to Wichita to Dodge City to Oklahoma City Amarillo to Albuquerque to Tucson.
If that works it's easy and includes a lot of cities.
If not let us know and we can change it up.
BOL,
