Cool trip. Crazy to think I only put twice that many miles on my C5 in 3 years (before I sold it).

Thanks for sharing your trip. Great pics. I took the family on a trip to Glacier, Yellowstone and Grand Tetons once but that was in the mini van. I hope to make that trip again in my vette. You've inspired me.

I am heading over to Kauia in about a week. Looked on line but could not find any where to rent a vette.

The total trip took almost three weeks, but at least a whole week was spent hanging out with our friends in Wyoming, doing local stuff, riding motorcycles, etc. We also spent a few days in Waterton Park, Alberta, and a few days near Glacier National Park... did some hiking, etc. If you wanted to just burn through it all, it could be done in way less than three weeks of course. Depends on how far you need to travel to get to that area. All I can say is that it's WELL WORTH making the trip!

Believe me, I did not keep the car clean! You should see it now. Maybe I'll go take some pics this week before I wash it. It's super DIRTY! There are so many bugs plastered to the front end that you can hardly see the paint... it's pretty funny. I'm gonna need a chisel to get them off. The front wheels look darker than comp gray wheels at this point from brake dust, etc.

The car looks relatively clean in some of the pics because many of these pics were taken only halfway through the trip... plus if I remember correctly, it had rained shortly before some of these shots were taken, effectively washing the car off a bit. But the car is dirtier than ever right now. I actually kinda like the "weathered" look... gives the car a mean vibe... it looks like it just completed LeMans or something.

EDIT: Here's a pic of some bugs midway through the trip... it was worse after getting home. Took hours to clean.

Beautiful blending of colors and textures in your pics with your C6 - they look professionally done!

I have taken so much excellent and enjoyable info from this forum over the past few years, I certainly wish to contribute back into it whenever possible... doing my best.

Gorgeous pictures by an excellent photographer!

My wife and I are driving our '07 Coupe back from Bowling Green in early September. We've done the I 40/Route 66 trip with our first '00 Coupe and I think because of your pics we've found another route home to Gig Harbor, WA.

WOW!!!!!!!!

breath taking!

i have been dreaming of this sort of a road trip for well over 10 years. i have carefully looked at maps, day dreamed, imagined, looked at web photos of different places but never found the time.

you just hit me in my soft spot

if you dont mind, can you give a detailed route from start to finish and perhaps mention the driving time/mileage.

ex.
Day 1, route miles
Day 2, route, miles. ect...

my silver 07 coupe got built and waiting to install C6Z brakes, full suspension and larger wheels. i hope to take it to places shown in your photos.

Great write-up and simply outstanding pictures. That really looks like the trip of a lifetime. IMO no better vehicle than the Corvette to enjoy it in. Thanks for sharing.

Great trip and pics, thanks for sharing.
I reported on my 3,600 mile round trip to Deal's Gap last month and was pleased to see how well the C6 is on our highways and mountain roads. As the old 50s commercials said, it is great to "See the USA in your Chevrolet."
