Doing a road trip across this lovely country and trying to keep my plans as fluid as I can get away with. Just about to do my forth night at the excellent Bug Rustic Hostel (booked one night then just kept adding more) and I've done three amazing days in Yosemite (holy cow, by the way).
Vegas is the next destination on the list (then the Canyon, the parks of Utah, then Austin, New Orleans and so on up the coast) but it's eight-hours drive from here and I'm powerfully uninterested in ever driving more than three or four hours at a day.
So I figure I'll do it over two or three days and try and see some stuff on the way.
Thing is I don't know dick about the state between here and there. I'd love to know what's worth seeing and I'd really love if you know of the best places to stay along the way. Cheap, high quality hostels (/unicorns) preferably, but if you can sell me on an amazing experience with a real price tag I've got the funds to splash out a bit if its worth it.
tl;dr: read the title ;)
Any and all help appreciated. Thanks in advance!
