a friend an i want to hit the road after graduation. we both have part time jobs and we're saving up money for the trip. only thing is we dont know where to go. we're looking to go out for a few weeks or so, maybe a month. we live in los angeles and we're thinking about going out no farther than 1500 miles. where should we go? what are some good places to see in the west and midwest? maybe as far as colorado or texas. any ideas?

If you have three weeks or a month, that is plenty of time to access ANY of the 49 mainland United States (yes, even Alaska), and most of Canada. Don't necessarily limit yourself to 1500 miles. You have the opportunity of a lifetime here; now is not the time to set limits on it.
What kinds of things do you like to do? This would narrow it down a bit; this country is HUGE.
One thing I'd recommend is a AAA membership (http://www.aaa.com ), for a few reasons. One, their roadside assistance services have saved us a few times. Two, their maps and TourBooks are great sources of info, and have great lists of attractions and lodging for just about everywhere. Get TourBooks for all states/provinces you might visit, and research them. Start to plan things out.
There are MANY incredible scenic wonders in the west if you like nature, the outdoors, and National Parks. There's Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, the list goes on. There are things to see all over this country. If you want to try driving to Alaska, it's actually a very nice ride, very comfortable through the summer; it's like nothing else you'll ever see.
Really, I have no idea where to start, there's just so much out there. Once again, what kinds of things would you like to see and do? If you start to narrow it down a bit, I can start to suggest more specific things.
Exciting stuff! Enjoy it!!

Head for the mountains. Go to the Rockies and see the national parks -- Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches National Park, Yellowstone & Glacier. You can buy a year-long park admission pass to save money.

i think of that EuroTrip is funniner. not merely does it push the envelope to boundries i did not comprehend existed, it is likewise hysterical. RoadTrip has its moments, besides the incontrovertible fact that it would not come close.
