Durango, Colorado, is one of our favorite cities in the United States. Why? It’s in the Goldilocks-zone between not-too-big and not-too-small. There are interesting attractions here, but it’s also a contemporary, four-season working town where one could comfortably settle down. The food is good. There are snow-capped mountains 45 minutes to the north, desert 45 minutes to the south and Utah’s sandstone playgrounds an hour to the west. We can see ourselves making a home here, someday!

Welcome to the most geographically diverse country in the world, the U.S.A.! This guide is written based off of a road trip that we took in late 2020. The full itinerary is a little over three weeks (23 days, 22 nights), starting and finishing in Orlando (where we were living at the time). The best part about the itinerary? It's a loop! Allowing you to start and finish wherever. This itinerary is 100% personalizable and as many stops can be added or removed as you'd like. This route offers some amazing places, including the beaches in Florida, the deserts of the southwest, and the coastlines of California. The most optimal time to take this road trip is during the summer as you'll find the best weather everywhere. But because we're mainly down south, you can take this road trip in the winter without too much trouble in the snow. This itinerary includes 15 states, nine National Parks, 6000+ miles, and all of the costs we incurred along the way. This itinerary also includes things to see, places to eats, and our favorite things in each location. This itinerary does not include overnight accommodation, so it is necessary to find hotels/airbnbs on your own.
