Grand Tetons, Moab, Zion and Bryce. The Four Corners area is unbelieveably rich with places to visit and I actually think Bryce is more spectacular than the Grand Canyon, along with the ride on 9 to 89 from Zion to Bryce and through the Grand Staircase on 12. In that area you can see old indian settlements, volcanos, meteor sites, the petrified forest etc. Its a great area for hopping from site to site without long car rides. The Vermillion cliffs are so pretty, they make your eyes hurt. Los Alamos was interesting, along with the indian settlements there and santa fe. If you are from the east coast, bring along a star map because the kids will never have seen so many stars. At least 15 minutes a night watching for satellites and constellations.
