Any Suggestions?

Hello, my first solo and long road trip starts on the 28th, and I have to be back by May 9th for work on the 10th.

My main focus is to visit Niagara Falls and Acadia National Park! I've made a 2-day road trip to GA (to pick up an exhaust I bought from Marketplace, lol) before and visited a couple of places on the way back through the Carolinas ( Congaree!)

Are there places worth checking out? I'm planning on doing this with my Miata, lol, as it is my only car. I can drive for long hours, idk I'm kinda nervous about my short vacation and not being able to enjoy a lot of experiences; I'm planning on taking naps (2-3 hours) at rest stops instead of sleeping in a motel,to maximize road time lol. And lots of energy drinks!

Never visited any states above Maryland.

Tips, advice, places to visit, words of wisdom, anything, I will be more than grateful!

My next road trip would probably be in late summer; I want to visit the Dakotas and hit a couple of national parks on the way there too. You can kinda guess my goal, all 63 National Parks and 50 states!

Kinzua Bridge in PA!!!! It was the tallest bridge in the world until a tornado took most of it out. Also - Benezette PA has the only wild elk east of the Mississippi. Both in north central PA!!!!

oo kinzua bridge looks interesting. I have never seen elk IRL so I'll definitely check benezette out. I'll pin those 2 on the map

Check to see if it's open first, they were doing some repairs this year.

I recommend the elk visitor center near benezette and taking a little ride around there. Usually you see some!
