Best Road Trip Route for Winter: Interstate 10

Only chance to do a road trip is during the winter? Interstate 10 is the route for you. I-10 traverses areas with mild climate in winter. In this video is discussion of the best places to see along I-10 and tips for the trip. Cities, National Parks, and National Monuments- this is a great road trip route that offers a lot of variety and places to see that you wouldn't see during a typical summer road trip. I've done this road trip route a few times and wanted to mention the highlights.

It is worth mentioning that westbound on I 10 ends at the Santa Monica pier, a must stop.

You should have mentioned Mt Lemmon. Its such a crazy scenery with the dry cactus-filled desert at the base to the Rocky Mountain-like summit with the southernmost American Ski Resort, Ive been there many many times, and it never disappoints.

I can't believe you didn't include my house right where I-10 starts in Jacksonville.

The MAJOR advantage of this route is that there are very few points of higher elevation along this route. The highest elevation that you will attain on this route is 5300 ft forty miles east of Tucson. One warning: during the winter months, do NOT divert to I--8 West of Tucson as that interstate can close during periods of snow, like last December..

I drove I 10 from Jacksonville to Houston, a claim to fame for I 10 is there were no overpasses, unlimited height for trucks and cargo. Lots of coast to coast yacht shipping

Nice job of pointing out the highlights.

In Phoenix, I’d recommend the Musical Instrument Museum. It’s a bit pricey, but they have a *ton* of instruments from all over the world, along with occasional demonstrations and a fairly well done video/audio system throughout the museum.

Baton Rouge has a few historic civil war era sites that might be worth checking out.

If you are diverting south as much as 2 hours, you should have included St Augustine in Florida.

I don't tend to thumbs up vids...not talking about yours, but any videos at all. Well done. I liked it a lot.

Another great Tucson attraction is the missile silo tour.

[johnfortes]

In the Tucson area there is also the Pima Air Museum and the Old Tucson Movie Lot and a missle silo you can visit near Sahuarita a few miles south of Tucson

I’ve really enjoyed the info in your videos so far, but this one may end up being the most practical one day. If not anything else, we’re all about flavorful, authentic foods.

I was told that they used to have railings on the river walk in San Antonio, but more people fell in with these than without!

[justinkelly]

that comment at the end about the balloons had me chuckling🤣

[bobcounihan]

Thanks for the video. Just want to give a mention for Mt. Lemmon near Tuscon. It is a great location.

You missed a jewel of a stop with the caverns of Sonora in Sonora, Texas. They're not as big as Carlsbad caverns, but they are along I-10.
Maybe next time?

If you're a state capitol nerd, there are also Tallahassee, FL, and Baton Rouge, LA along I-10.
