Message Thread | This response ↓  what would be a good, weeklong, there and back driving trip for a family from CI in March? - lcubed September 25, 2025, 10:18:46 RMNP in March will be very snowy. - EffinIllini September 26, 2025, 12:55:08 ugh, wife has indicated a preference for gatlinburg so she can go to dollywood* - lcubed September 26, 2025, 10:27:09 I have not been but I have heard really good things about Dollywood - ATL September 26, 2025, 10:27:58 Never been to Dollywood, but Gatlinburg is nice as far as tourist traps go. - DT September 26, 2025, 10:33:10 I don’t think I’d do that trip in March. In RMNP you wouldn’t be able to drive over trail ridge road - GhostofPokeyStixPast September 25, 2025, 12:57:37 Adding on to below….from Illinois….devils tower/Custer NP/Badlands/yellowstone/Tetons - TarheelIllini September 25, 2025, 12:08:28 Very much so. We probably did it 8-10 times growing up. - EffinIllini September 26, 2025, 12:56:53 Blame it on the Tetons - KingTalkyTiki September 25, 2025, 12:10:07 If you're out that way: my suggestion would be Rushmore first, then Crazy Horse. - osklister September 25, 2025, 11:35:50 how about flip fla to march and drive to copper harbor in the u.p. in june? - Nobster September 25, 2025, 11:09:29 gotta do florida in the summer since it's for my oldest's dance nationals competition* - lcubed September 25, 2025, 11:17:24 as you work, then.* - Nobster September 25, 2025, 11:30:37 Does CI mean Champaign, Illinois? * - illini September 25, 2025, 11:00:59 close enough. i should have put ECI but champaign works* - lcubed September 25, 2025, 11:01:40 SD would be a good choice. They'll probably like the Badlands more than Mt. Rushmore. - Philo September 25, 2025, 10:46:44 Wasn't underwhelming to me, quite the opposite in fact. - Warrin'_Illini September 25, 2025, 10:37:09 How old are the kids? - DT September 25, 2025, 10:32:20 13, 12, 8 and 6* - lcubed September 25, 2025, 10:37:38 Mt Rushmore is awesome but it will be cold in March. May I suggest Big Bend NP* - TarheelIllini September 25, 2025, 10:29:51 I don't think you can drive there from CI in a week. You can barely drive there from San Antonio* - ATL September 25, 2025, 10:36:19 yeah, that one's a bit far* - lcubed September 25, 2025, 10:38:02 I would, however, highly recommend the Big Bend area generally and BBNP specifically - ATL September 25, 2025, 10:44:28 I wouldn't call Mt. Rushmore underwhelming at all. - Stu September 25, 2025, 10:26:28 My favorite was Devil’s Tower* - Sounder September 25, 2025, 10:51:43 It is when the weather outside is not cooperating, resulting in clouds and fog blocking view. - illinilosch September 25, 2025, 10:38:49 « Back to index | View thread »
