Trips for Families announced
today the start of their 35]day “Rockies or Bust”
road trip in which Road Trips for Families Executive Editor Sheri
Wallace and her family will drive all Top 10 Scenic Drives in the
Northern Rockies. The road trip will travel through five states and two
Canadian provinces. The road trip is in partnership with Top 10 Scenic
Drives in the Northern Rockies
and sponsored by

“One goal of the Road Trip
for Families road trip is to
raise awareness of the importance of spending time with our children in
nature,” said Sheri Wallace, the founder of Road Trips for
Families. "Not only is it important to support our state and national
parks and other outdoor spaces, it's vital to let our kids interact
with nature and learn what they will grow up to protect and enjoy,"
explained Wallace. "Getting outside and camping, hiking, geocaching or
just having a picnic together is what your kids will remember thirty
years from now, not the latest video game or DVD."
The road trip will demonstrate how modern families can easily find an
enjoyable road trip on a scenic byway in the Northern Rockies, plan a
unique trip and most importantly, travel safely. By visiting the site
at www.drivethetop10.com,
families can research drives, find maps and read about the experiences
of other families as well as the pit stops, key landmarks, lodging,
attractions and restaurants along the drive of their choice. Wallace
plans to blog about the trip as she experiences some of the most
beautiful scenery in the United States. Drives include the
International Selkirk Loop, Yellowstone]Grand Teton Loop, the Northwest
Passage Scenic Byway and the Hells Canyon All]American Road, among
others.
“This is an iconic area of the country,” said
Wallace. “So many parents have memories of road trips to the
Rockies as kids. Now they are the ones taking a new generation to make
memories that last a lifetime.”
The “Rockies or Bust 2010” road trip begins July
1st in Cody, Wyoming and concludes August 4th in Tucson, Arizona. The
Wallace family will drive an estimated 6,000 miles round trip from
their home in Arizona and will drive all of the Top 10 Scenic Drives in
the Northern Rockies.
