What is the best summer road trip destination?

Question

On a road trip, it's the road getting there that's important, not the final destination. So it really depends on the route you take.

With that in mind, I would rule out Shreveport. I'd rule out both Texas location, unless you came from the west.

Albuquerque pretty much sucks, but some of the routes getting there are very nice. Best to approach from the north, west or northwest.

Denver - come in from the west across the mountains.

I'd pick either Albuquerque or Denver

Come into Albuquerque from the northwest. Come across southern Utah, and across NW Arizona, then SE to Albuquerque makes for a very nice road trip.

You could do part of that route going to Denver. Across southern Utah, maybe part of NW Arizona, then through Durango, then over the mountains to Denver.

Austin sucks. There is no reason whstsoever to visit it just because; it's a city for business and fruity California transplants.

Galveston is also very crappy, and only worth visiting if you're en route to a Caribbean cruise. If you're going to road trip to any major Texas city, San Antonio is the only one with a decent tourist/visitor destination roster.

In fact all of these are pretty bad... I'm inclined to say Denver because at least the scenery on the route will be nice even though the city is a craphole, inferior to Colorado Springs in every way.

I love Austin, but Texas is stupid hot in the summer. I don’t know if that’s the time of year, unless you can take the heat. Also, depending on what side of 21 you’re on, Sixth Street is an awesome time, but you need to be of age, or have a good fake ID, haha. But other than the heat, I can vouch for Austin as a cool spot to check out. Great BBQ and great Mexican food as well👍👍

In summer, go to Denver and spend some time in the nearby mountains... Golden and Boulder are great places to visit, and the weather is not too hot, not too cold... Goldilocks weather. All the other places are too hot in summer.

Not that I went there for the view but Colorado Red Rocks is beautiful if you like that thing and is for the best venue I've been to.
So jealous of people who live in Colorado and can just go to events there all the time.
