Hey man, what base are you at? I am doing the exact same drive, except from Salt Lake City, to Georgia. Let me know if you find out anything good. What are the dates of the trip, I am going to be doing mine at the middle to end of August.

Arches National Park is not too far north of Vegas. Absolutely amazing place if you can spare the time it's worth a couple of days just to hike around and take photos.

And it is on your way to CO too if you take that route. There's a lot of National Parks in the So. Utah area with tons of stuff to see and do, and plenty of open windy roads, but Arches in Moab is definitely my favorite too (must be in the blood ). The drive from Vegas to St. George (really more like Mesquite to St. George, but still) has a very fun twisty canyon that the freeway weaves through, one of my favorite little drive spots as long as I am in a sporty enough car

You could also always plan your road trip and come up to Salt Lake when there's an open track day type event at Miller and get a chance to drive the car on the track

pastoli, I'm from Keesler. Are you heading over to Robins? I'm projecting I'd probably take off from Vegas on the 24th Aug which is Monday. I'm thinking I should be able to comfortably get to Colorado Springs by the second day, but haven't decided where or which route to take from there just yet. I'm not finding much in Kansas, Oklahoma, however, I'm hearing there's a good drive up NW of Arkansas.

I'll be putting on a brand new set of re01 all around, and not sure how my tires gonna hold up throughout the entire trip, but hitting up track events here and there while traveling sounds awesome!

Enjoy Arches ... if you have any extra time ... well, spend it in Arches.

There is so much to see down there, including outside of Arches, but for an initial trip through the area my suggestion is spend what time you can there.

I'll see if I can meet up with you somewhere. I'm in the process of cancelling my orders to Georgia and staying in Germany.
