Heading out west in Sept. by route I-40. Plan on grand canyon, zion,bryce, canyonland, arches. Not going up to Tetons or Yellowstone this time. What other attractions along the way, would you suggest?...

Memphis is full of interesting things to see and do. Tom Sawyer's RV Park in West Memphis is a great place to sit by the Mississippi River and watch the barges go by. In Arkansas, a few miles south of I-40 is Mississippi River State Park. The campground has only 17 sites, all lakefront and full hook up. Award winning BBQ in nearby Marianna. We liked it so much we went there twice. I posted about our first stay at Crowley's Ridge Parkway and the Great River Road
Little Rock is a good stopover. In Oklahoma, the only place we stayed was Red Rock Canyon State Park. There is a short drive down a fairly steep grade into the canyon but doable in a 35 foot fifth wheel. Amarillo, TX has the Cadillac Ranch and the Big Texan Steakhouse. Palo Duron Canyon is a great day trip from Amarillo or you can camp there. Albuquerque, NM is another good stopover with beautiful scenery and a couple of national monuments nearby. Stand on the corner in Winslow, AZ.
In many places along I-40 you will be traveling near towns with memorabilia from old Route 66.
Have fun!
