Roadtrip suggestions over the weekend. Leaving from Utah.?

Question

Hey all!
My girlfriend and I wanna go somewhere over the weekend. We're in Ogden, UT and would like to go somewhere cheap. Stay at a bed & breakfast or a cheap motel. See some cool stuff.

We were thinking NYC, but it's too far away. Likewise Canada and Mexico. LA is too crowded, San Fran too expensive. Shoshone Falls in Idaho seem cool, but not much to do there once you've seen the waterfall. I'm thinking about the Grand Canyon, but I don't know yet.

Suggestions please!!!!!

Answer 1

How about Boise? Plenty to do there. The tour of the old penitentiary is worthwhile. This time of year you can rent a tube and float down the river - that's nice, especially if it's hot.

If you like pubs, be sure to catch the Crescent Bar and Grill in Boise (near the airport). I think it's the best bar & grill in the state, and be sure to look at the mural on the wall -- it's very funny. Judge Judy with a tip jar?!? Lawyers who are really sharks? You gotta see it to believe it.

And maybe drive up to McCall. It's very pretty there, and they too have a great joint, the McCall Brewing Company.

Answer 2

Well of course Las Vegas would be the logical answer, close and more than enough fun. Boulder is a great place to visit as would be Yellowstone or Santa Fe.
