Visitors to National Parks are easily distracted. They often forget the purpose of yellow lines in the road, the usefulness of turn signals, and that there are other people on the road behind them. We saw in Rocky Mountain National Park that animals are an amazing draw that make folks do incredibly stupid things like drive off the road to park, or stop in the road, or worst stand with their kids close to large, wild animals. In Rocky Mountain National Park the attraction was elk. Why would you stand with your kids anywhere close to an elk herd? They are not pets. They are wild. The same behavior is multiplied in Yellowstone with buffalo.
Interstates. They get you there but they sure are uninteresting. Maybe it is not just the interstates, but perhaps the country they go through. Some of the worst are through the Midwest and west. Iowa, Nebraska, eastern Wyoming and Colorado and don't forget southern Idaho!
