OK everyone...am planning an auto trip this summer. Starting in northern CA....heading to Maine, with stops planned at MT Rushmore and Niagra Falls. Then heading south to loop thru Nashville, Memphis, Oklahoma City, Vegas and San Diego.....then back home. Taking my recently purchased Canon T32i. My question: any suggestions of other good photo stops along this route? Thanx so much in advance.

I can think of a whole lot of them, but you might have to make quite a few detours...

If you go through Omaha, visit the Henry Doorly Zoo.
If you go through Salina, KS, visit the Rolling Hills Wildlife Adventure and Museum.
If you go through Wichita, KS, the Sedgewick County Zoo is nice.
Mitchelle. SD has a Cabela's, so does Boise, ID. You may want check out the location of these stores as they provide great pictures of mounted animals and fish. Many have a live aquarium with fish from that region.
Lake Shasta Caverns is a great place to get pictures. The boast across the lake and lanscapes from the caverns. Inside is great structures to get pictures of.

We are also planning similar trip. Minnesota, Niagara ,over through upper part of New York Vermont Mass. Taking rout to see covered bridges, museums and notable places, and Independence Hall, Blue Ridge Parkway , too many places to mention here. All of these places should be great places to photograph. I think we are looking at about ten weeks. If you are going to be anywhere near these places there should be amle opportunity for use of your camera. Looking forward too this trip.

Everybody will have something to suggest that you look at, I'm sure.
Be smart and keep your eyes open, camera handy and ready. You'll find plenty to shoot during your drive.

Slowly I turned...
Never mind. Bring extra cards and batteries. It's usually the unexpected that provides the best opportunities.

Don't miss the north shore of Lake Superior. The drive from Duluth to Grand Marais has some spectacular scenery.
