If you make it to the ditch, go a bit farther and check out monument valley, absolutely stunning. Montana has some beautiful spots to take in. Kalispell is a real neat place, as is missoula just south of it. Become familier with mountain flying techniques however. The Seattle area if you venture that far is aviation rich, from sea plane rides to the Boeing plant and musuem. Flying into Boeing field is fun. All of the poster have some pretty good ideas. Also Chino in Socal is a great place to spend hours looking at the project warbirds. If you have wheels( cant fly to it) the March AFB musuem adjecent to the Chino airport is quite good. Enjoy!
