Under-the-radar road trips
Want to follow a route-less-traveled on your next family drive? Check out these four kid-friendly options.
Elk City to Tulsa, Oklahoma
Snap family selfies on the “Mother Road” at iconic sites like the 80-foot-long Catoosa Blue Whale, 66-foot-tall Pops soda bottle, and a 90-foot-tall concrete totem pole.
Crystal Springs to Warm Springs, Nevada
Take this 98-mile route through “the UFO capital of the world” by launching your mission at the Alien Research Center gift shop and returning to reality at U.S. 6 in Warm Springs. Bunk at Little A’Le’Inn in Rachel, the closest town to Area 51.
Atlantic Beach to Hatteras Island
Go on a swashbuckling adventure cruise aboard the Revenge, a 40-foot pirate replica ship; discover Blackbeard’s hideouts; and visit the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum to learn about shipwrecks along the coast—many of which were caused by attacking buccaneers.
