The Friday before Memorial Day — in this case, Friday, May 28 — is National Road Trip Day. With summer fast approaching and people itching to get out of town, this may be the summer to take a road trip. It’s a great way to see the country and its many attractions — including roadside attractions! The American highway system is littered with all kinds of obscure and fascinating attractions. All you have to do is find them! Iowa 80 This is the world’s largest truck stop on I-80, in Walcott, Iowa. This mega truck stop has everything truckers and road trippers need to continue on their long haul, from the typical fuel and food to the less expected dentists and chiropractors. There’s even a showroom displaying the road’s fanciest show trucks. Starship Enterprise North of the border, a little south of Calgary, is the town of Vulcan, Alberta. The town is not shy about their pop culture significance, having built a scaled replica of the iconic USS Enterprise, as well as the Vulcan Tourism & Trek Station. Trees of Mystery In Northern California, along the Redwood Highway (U.S. Highway 101), you’ll find a 49-foot-tall statue of the legendary Paul Bunyan, along with his companion, Babe the Blue Ox. These two loom over the entrance to the Trees of Mystery and the surrounding redwood wilderness. Wall Drug If you’re ever on the I-90, near Badlands National Park (maybe on your way to Mount Rushmore), be sure to check out Wall Drug, situated in the quaint, remote town of Wall, South Dakota. Wall Drug isn’t your typical drug store — it’s defined by dated kitsch and unique Great Plains pieces. World’s Largest Dinosaur Yet another attraction in Alberta, this time a little north of Calgary, in Drumheller, is an 86-foot-tall Tyrannosaurus rex. You can even climb right up into his jaws for an impressive view of the area! The town is also home to the Royal Tyrrell Museum, which contains Canada’s largest collection of dinosaur fossils. 5 MUST SEE ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS FOR EVERY ROAD TRIPPER
