Please ignore this statement. You already have “major” tourist traps on your list of places you’re going.
Last year I finished my 7 year odyssey touring the lower 48 with the Montana. Middle of nowhere, out in the sticks, out of the way places are what makes memorable trips. I have way too many examples to list, but I will point out a couple.
Saw the 1948 Flxible bus/rv conversion that was used by the Gornike family in the movie RV. This was in some out of the way little museum in/near Amarillo.
Tracked down a bunch of cowboy boot “statues” all around Cheyenne.
Saw two archaeological digs. One was Native American, one was dinosaur. Both off the beaten path.
One of the coolest things about going to places like that, and tourist attractions, is seeing them on some tv show, movie or documentary and saying “I’ve been there”.
Just my two cents
