Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Monument in Colorado is a really beautiful spot. The Canyon is really deep and so narrow its just amazing, in some of the viewpoints you cant even see the river running in it. I visited both rims and even though the southern is more touristic and more developed for visitors, I think the views were better from the north rim.

This road is only about 8 KM or so but it is really unique. Just south of the city of Kristiansund, on road #64 the Atlantic road begins with some really amazing roads just few meters above the water. This is a short drive but be sure to stop where possible and check out the curves on the road.

This small village is the last stop of the Bosphorus river boat ride and it is a really nice place, when you get there you will see many restaurants and ice cream shops but the best thing to do there is to climb uphill till you get to the castle ruins and you look over and just see the black sea in front of you and it is a really great view.

When visiting Plitvice Lakes make sure you have at least 5-6 hours for this park since it has many trails to walk on and many waterfalls to visit, some are small and some are really big. The full entrance ticket which costs about 10 Euros and include the bus to the entrance (or back to the parking) and the boat rides inside the park.
It is best to take the bus ride to the highest entrance since then you will walk downhill most of the time instead of uphill, also the smaller falls are at the top and when you get to the lower lakes you will see bigger falls, after you take the boat ride to the other side, take the trail to the big waterfall. Keep in mind the the way back from the big waterfall to the entrance (where you take the bus back to the parking) is a walk uphill so save some energy for that.

In every fast food place on the rest areas across north America you can find near the door a stand with coupons book for the hotels and motels in the surrounding states. The coupons book offers some really nice discounts and good deals and beside each coupon there is a small map and address of the place so it is also really makes it easy to find a place to sleep at night.
