Chicken Dan and I are taking the girls on a long-awaited road trip to check out the dunes up North, mid-September. The interwebs say we should expect epic weather during our stay at Sand Hills Resort.
We're a group that enjoys the journey as much as the destination. Any stops along the 15 we should see? Any day trips to see touristy shit once there? Diners, dives, choke and pukes? We like eating at places we don't normally get to when traveling. I have a need to sample every chicken fried steak breakfast in the country, so there's that😁.
 
The dunes are steep and transitions are sketchy, lots of outlying trails to explore on edge of dunes.

A little further up the road is Yellowstone and tons of offroad trails to explore in those mountains.

This is in Midvale Utah on the way.

Shoshone caves, craters of the moon, the Teton dam flood site, and the St Anthony civil defense caves.
 
Valley of Fire north of Vegas for fireworks. A day trip to Jackson Hole should include at least one ride on the Alpine Slide on the south side of town. One ride for our crew turned into everyone getting day passes. Somewhere nearby is said to be the largest pile of empty Keystone cans, but that could be more myth than fact.
 
I would suggest trying to stay at Idaho Dunes RV vs Sand Hills. Much easier access to the dunes. Bababouy's buddy opened a new brewery up there, so you may consider checking it out. Jackson Hole / Grand Tetons is a nice day trip. If you do go to Jackson take the long way on Hwy 26 through Swan Valley to Alpine. It's very scenic and worth going a little out of the way. From Alpine going North to Jackson you are running through a nice canyon along the Snake river. Have a great trip.
 
Cedar City has a cool museum and petroglyphs nearby.
 
Are you going through Salt Lake?

Right next door there is a very nice RV park. Shady and grassy. And mostly pull through spots! 👍🏼

It's an easy drive from there to St Anthony's.

If you go into Yellowstone for the day, the falls are pretty epic. Also the lake there is Very impressive. 30 miles long or some shit like that. Pretty sure there Was a restaurant right on the shore.

How can you turn down Grand Teton's? 😁

What are you guys taking for toys for the dunes? We took the knee boards, and drug em behind the quads, along the shore of Lake Elgin.

Not sure what route you taking, but a side trip to Zion is always fun.

Duck Creek is probably way outa your way, but that's a Really nice place to check out. 👍🏼

Say hi to Courtney while you're up there. 👍🏼
