You won't have enough time to see all you'll want to see. Plan on a second (or third) trip soon! Are you a Star Trek fan? You can visit Riverside Iowa, and see the "Future Birthplace of Captain Kirk." just south of I-80.
Nebraska features a bunch of museums; Gothenburg area has some. Chimney Rock is neat, and the Scotts Bluff area features "Windlass Hill" where you can walk up a short trail and stand in the channel worn through the rock by the iron rims of the covered wagons. Devils Tower is a short distance west into Wyoming.
If you're in the Dakotas, spend some time in the Badlands. If you're on I-90 the National Grassland that's on a loop between Cactus Flat and Wall is a beautiful drive. Southwest SD features not only Mt. Rushmore and the Crazy Horse monument, but a really interesting "Mammoth Dig" at Hot Springs.
Montana has a lot of Lewis & Clark trail areas, Pompey's Pillar next to I-94, and the Little Bighorn Battlefield close to Billings is definitely worth a stop. South of Billings on Hwy 212, you can go through Red Lodge and enter Yellowstone by the most scenic route into the park. That road usually opens around June 15 or so, when the snow has been cleared. CHECK to see if it's open before going this way!!
If you have time, work in a trip to Glacier National Park and see the glaciers before they totally disappear. You'll never be in a more beautiful place with fewer people. Drive the "Going to the Sun Road" and you won't forget it! You can stay in St. Mary on the east side of the park, or in several places west of the park; Kalispell is not far away. The drive from Helena to Butte on I-15 is one of the prettiest Interstate drives you'll find.
Yellowstone is magnificent - ALL of it. I've been there three times, and want to go back several more times. The Jackson Hole/Tetons area south of Yellowstone is neat. If you stay in West Yellowstone, satisfy your appetite at the Rustler's Roost on Firehole Ave. West of Yellowstone on US 20 in Idaho is Craters of the Moon National Monument with incredible lava fields from ancient volcanic eruptions.
South from there and into Utah, you can visit Salt Lake City. The Dinosaur National Monument where Utah and Colorado come together (east of Vernal) is an interesting place. Head east (or south) into Colorado, and you can find all sorts of neat places. Rocky Mt. National Park, a drive down Big Thompson Canyon, Denver, and Colorado Springs. Colorado Springs features the Garden of the Gods, Pike's Peak, and is within an hour or so of a bunch of neat historical sites, mining museums, etc.
Enjoy your trip, take a camera, and post some pictures for the rest of us!

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
